Patient's question:
I think I might have candidiasis. Every time it's mid-cycle, the discharge has an odor, slightly yellow in color, and sometimes a bit like residue when it's severe. The external genital area swells, aches, and feels hot. How can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
If infected with mold, it is recommended to clean the external genitalia and vagina with an alkaline solution of sodium bicarbonate, then insert nystatin suppositories into the vagina, and apply miconazole cream to the external genitalia for better results. Daily cleaning of the external genitalia and vagina with a cleansing solution is advisable, along with changing underwear every day and washing it together with towels and basins. Additionally, during the treatment of vaginitis, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat appropriately to avoid unnecessary impacts on the recovery of vaginitis.
