Patient's question:
The vagina is slightly red and swollen, itchy, and a bit painful. I went to the gynecology department, and they said it was acute cervicitis and vaginitis. Test results: The re-examination three days later yesterday showed normal cervix and vagina. White blood cells and pus cells were increased in the routine test of leukorrhea. No Candida or Trichomonas were found. BV (Bacterial Vaginosis) was positive.Past treatment and effectiveness: The doctor recommended a week of physical therapy, and I also received medication. After three days, it improved. I underwent six days of vaginal Chinese herbal washing and was treated with microwave therapy.
Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis tends to recur frequently and can be transmitted between partners. Both parties should be treated simultaneously. Candidal vulvovaginitis is a common type of vaginitis, usually caused by Candida albicans. The main symptoms are itching or burning pain in the outer genitalia. During the acute phase, there is an increase in vaginal discharge, which appears as creamy clumps or cottage cheese-like in texture. Pay attention to maintaining vulvar hygiene to prevent cross-infection. We should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If bacterial vaginosis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
