Patient's question:
I have had persistent itching in my private area for a few days, and it has been diagnosed as candidiasis. However, the medication I received has not helped at all. I would like to ask, what medication is used for candidiasis? How much does it cost approximately? Where should I buy the medication?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is a vaginal inflammation caused by Candida albicans. For treatment, clotrimazole vaginal suppositories are very effective, usually taking effect within 2 to 3 days. Generally, two courses of treatment are required. Clotrimazole suppositories can be purchased at pharmacies or prescribed by a doctor. During the treatment of candidal vulvovaginitis, it is best to treat with your sexual partner to avoid interfering with the therapeutic effect. Vulvovaginitis is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment and follow the doctor's recommendations. At the same time, pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition. The above answer is hoped to assist you. Thank you.
