Patient's question:
Vaginitis. Past treatment and effectiveness: After using a 7-day course of medication, itching improved significantly. Sometimes the discharge is white, and sometimes it's still a bit yellow. The kind of help I need: 1: Should I focus on completing a course of medication, wait for my period, and then go for a follow-up test? (I want to have the polyp surgery next month.) 2: Should I go for a follow-up test first, have the doctor examine me carefully, and get a prescription?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, your condition is more likely to be caused by candidiasis (yeast infection). As for whether there is a split trichomoniasis, it is necessary to have a gynecological examination at the hospital to make a diagnosis.Advice: It is recommended to have a routine vaginal discharge test at the hospital for diagnosis. If the infection is caused by yeast, you can use alkaline solutions such as 2~4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to wash the external genitalia and vagina, changing the vaginal pH to make it more favorable for yeast growth. After washing, insert nystatin tablets or suppositories into the vagina.
