Patient's question:
A while ago, because the weather where I am was quite humid, our underwear couldn't dry properly, and it was always damp. Recently, I've been feeling extremely itchy down there, and using some medicated wipes didn't help at all. When I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, they said it was a case of candidiasis. I'd like to ask how to treat candidiasis.Doctor's answer:
Vaginal candidiasis is generally treated with topical antifungal medications. Under the guidance of a doctor, a two to four percent baking soda solution can be used to rinse the vagina. At night before bed, Tinidazole and Metronidazole vaginal capsules or Clotrimazole vaginal suppositories can be inserted into the posterior fornix of the vagina. Clotrimazole cream can be applied to the external genitalia. Avoid spicy, irritating, greasy foods. Wear cotton underwear with good breathability and change laundry frequently, exposing them to sunlight!In addition to immediate treatment, the patient's diet and psychological state are also particularly important during vaginal candidiasis treatment. It is essential to avoid excessive mental stress and anxiety to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of vaginal candidiasis.
