Patient's question:
After the previous episode, I didn't have any symptoms for 5 days. After my period, there was no itching, but the leukorrhea remained abnormal. I did a leukorrhea test, and the result showed negative for mold but positive for small bacilli. The doctor prescribed two more courses of Clotrimazole. After going home, I used one course.6. Now, just before my period, it flared up again (discomfort and swelling of the external genitalia). I used the second course of Clotrimazole, and the condition has improved.
What kind of help do you need: Is this course of medication appropriate? How long should the treatment continue?
Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is a sexually transmitted disease, primarily spread through sexual activity, but can also be indirectly transmitted through contact with items contaminated with industrial pollutants from patients. Therefore, both men and women should be examined and treated simultaneously. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided to prevent cross-infection and to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment.Simple drug treatment for candidal vulvovaginitis is often ineffective, with a long duration of treatment, a high risk of recurrence, and difficulty in achieving a permanent cure. General treatment methods include red light therapy, aerosolization, washing, medication application, and anti-inflammatory intravenous fluid therapy. Wishing you good health.
In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with vaginitis should maintain a healthy diet in daily life to digest nutrients. I hope the above information is helpful to you. Thank you!
