Patient's question:
How to take medication for recurrent fungal vaginitis? That is, my condition was originally treated and cured, but it has now recurred. I don't even know why it has recurred. Can I take the old medication if the condition recurs? Or how should I take the medication? What should I pay attention to when taking medication?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your question. For candidal vulvovaginitis, it's important to first pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene. Use a 5% sodium bicarbonate solution to rinse the perineum, then decide on either nystatin or nitrofurantoin suppositories for vaginal medication treatment. Additionally, take nystatin tablets or nitrofurantoin tablets orally. If the candidal vulvovaginitis recurs repeatedly, it's best to have a drug sensitivity test done. Based on the test results, choose a sensitive antifungal medication. If the condition is severe, it's recommended that the patient seek timely treatment.
