Patient's question:
We all know that it is not advisable to take medication or use drugs during menstruation. However, I have been feeling quite uncomfortable due to a recent vaginal yeast infection, so I specifically came here to ask the doctor if it is possible to treat candidal vulvovaginitis during menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Treatment should be avoided during the menstrual period. Candidal vulvovaginitis is one of the most common types of vaginitis in gynecology. The typical symptoms include a curd-like discharge and significant itching of the external genitalia. Candidal vulvovaginitis is actually caused by the transmission of Candida. Candida thrives in acidic environments, so during treatment, alkaline medications are used to alter the acidic environment of the vagina, thereby achieving the goal of treatment. For severe cases of vaginitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition. The above advice is for reference only. It is hoped that the answer above can help you. Thank you.
