Patient's question:
Using miconazole vaginal suppositories. Have already been using it for 4 days and the symptoms have disappeared. Then after stopping the medication, the condition recurred. Used it for another 9 days. Stopped again. Still had a recurrence. How can it be cured? What medication is better and more effective?Doctor's answer:
Guidance: Treatment should alter the pH of the vagina, such as using alkaline drugs to rinse the vagina, or using baking soda solution to rinse the vagina to change the living environment of the fungus. Nystatin vaginal suppositories should be inserted deep into the vagina, once in the morning and once in the evening, and can be combined with oral itraconazole treatment. Before being cured, sexual activity is strictly prohibited, and a light diet is recommended. Additionally, appropriate oral immune-boosting drugs can be taken to prevent the recurrence of fungal infections.When patients face the distress of vaginitis, we should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid avoiding medical visits. If vaginitis does not improve with treatment, a new treatment plan should be implemented promptly.
