Patient's question:
Hello, a few days ago I got candidiasis of the vagina and used clotrimazole. After my period, the vaginal discharge turned yellow and had a fishy odor. What could be the reason? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis, prone to recurrence, requires medication according to a prescribed course. You can use a 2-4% baking soda solution to rinse the external genital area, followed by inserting "Miconazole Nitrate Suppositories" into the vagina for treatment. Use one course of medication after each menstrual period, alternating for 3 menstrual cycles. During treatment, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. The vaginal infection is considered cured only if three consecutive post-menstrual re-examinations of leukorrhea show normal results. This condition is difficult to relieve. Friends with the disease should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating the vaginal infection and believe that recovery is certain.
