Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, recently I've been feeling a bit of stinging pain when I go to the bathroom, and I also have frequent urination and urgency. When I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, the doctor said that this condition is caused by a urinary tract infection due to candidiasis of the vagina. So I wanted to ask the doctor, what should I do about a urinary tract infection caused by candidiasis of the vagina?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, for conditions such as candidal vaginitis and urinary tract infections, it is recommended that you use hot steam for wiping daily. You can take oral cephalexin and metronidazole, or nitrofurantoin. Apply clotrimazole ointment externally. Pay attention to your diet, drink plenty of water, and eat easily digestible foods like vegetables and fruits. Avoid spicy foods. Generally, a course of treatment lasts from 3 to 7 days. In addition to promptly treating vaginitis, patients should always maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care and monitor changes in their symptoms, believing that this will surely drive away the vaginitis.
