Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed an abnormal amount of white discharge, which is yellowish, and occasionally there are a few streaks of blood. I suspect I might have a gynecological infection. My husband is very worried, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor diagnosed it as candidiasis vaginitis. How can candidiasis vaginitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis requires the proper use of medication for treatment. As per medical advice, medications such as miconazole vaginal capsules can be used to treat candidiasis. After one week of treatment, a follow-up white discharge test should be conducted. If the white discharge test shows no candidiasis, it is recommended to retest after the next menstrual cycle is clean. Then, retest again after the next clean menstrual cycle. If the test results are negative for three consecutive menstrual cycles, it indicates self-recovery. If the follow-up white discharge test still shows candidiasis, it is advised to focus on treatment.Vaginitis patients can complement their treatment with dietary therapy while understanding symptomatic treatment. In daily life, it is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness and never overeat or binge on food.
