Patient's question:
I felt uncomfortable in my private area a few days ago, with itching and abnormal discharge. I went to the hospital to see a doctor, who said I had candidiasis (yeast infection) and prescribed some medication for me. However, I still want to verify it further. Could you please tell me what medication is typically used for candidiasis and what precautions should be taken in daily life?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help clarify this for you. If you have candidal vulvovaginitis, you can take nystatin tablets orally or fluconazole. It's best to combine this with topical medication. You can use a vaginal wash and clean the external genital area at least once a day. For vaginal medication, use miconazole vaginal tablets, one tablet for four days. Treatment should last at least one week, and continue until symptoms disappear. In addition to medication, you should also pay attention to your diet, such as eating a light and balanced diet and staying active. At the same time, patients should choose a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure good therapeutic effects.
