Patient's question:
I have recently been experiencing frequent itching of the external genitalia, with cottage cheese-like white discharge in my underwear. I bought some feminine hygiene washes from a pharmacy and tried them, but they didn't help. Yesterday, the itching became even worse, so I went to the hospital. The doctor performed a white discharge test and said it was candidiasis (yeast infection). How is candidiasis treated?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is essentially a fungal infection, which is a vaginal fungal disease caused by Candida infection. It primarily manifests as itching, pain, and discomfort, and may also include redness and swelling of the external genitalia, as well as cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge. For treatment, sodium bicarbonate advanced control is used to inhibit fungal replication, followed by the administration of nystatin or miconazole nitrate vaginal suppositories. Additionally, during the treatment of vaginitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must ensure proper digestion of vitamins, prevent stomach issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
