Patient's question:
Recently, I've experienced abnormal white discharge, external genital itching, a foul odor in the lower body, and painful urination. After searching online, doctors said it's likely candidiasis vaginitis, advising me to pay attention to personal hygiene and not to wash underwear and outerwear together. I asked the staff at the pharmacy downstairs, and they said that miconazole nitrate suppositories are very effective.Hello, can candidiasis vaginitis be cured with miconazole nitrate suppositories alone? How long should I use it to see results?
Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis, also known as fungal vaginitis, is primarily caused by an imbalance in the vaginal flora. It is a fungal infection, and the main treatment currently is antifungal therapy. At night, you can rinse the external genital area with a solution of baking soda. Topical miconazole nitrate suppositories or miconazole nitrate vaginal cream can also be used. These two medications are quite effective in treating candidiasis. Please do not take antibiotics casually, as it may worsen the condition.When patients are affected by vaginitis, they should actively take treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If the vaginitis does not improve after treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
