Patient's question:
Earlier, when I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, I found out that I had a fungal vaginal infection. I used an anti-fungal vaginal suppository, but why is it still itchy? I want to ask the doctor if in my case, does it mean my condition is more severe? What should I do? I am really in a hurry.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for candidal vulvovaginitis requires a standardized approach. When the symptom of itching reappears, medication generally needs about a week to provide relief. After medication, the drug dissolves and flows out with the vaginal discharge, which may cause further itching of the external genitalia. Therefore, it can only be said that the condition becomes stable when the inflammation is somewhat relieved. In addition to vaginal medication, anti-inflammatory drugs can also be taken orally for treatment.Furthermore, during the treatment of vaginitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
