Patient's question:
After the period, no symptoms appeared for 5 days. After the period, there was no itching, but abnormal leukorrhea still existed. A routine leukorrhea test showed negative for mold but positive for small bacilli. The doctor prescribed two more courses of Clotrimazole. After returning home, I used one course.6. Now it's just before the period, and the symptoms have recurred again (discomfort and swelling of the external genitalia). I used the second course of Clotrimazole, and the condition has improved.
Is this course of medication compliant with medical standards? How long should the treatment continue?
Doctor's answer:
TCM Steam Bath Therapy Medicinal Name: Jingye Bencao Susuna Powder Recipe: Dried Daphne Root, Chinese Sophora Root, Common Cinnamon Bark, Prickly Ash, Madder Root, Coptis Rhizome, and White Alum Usage: Pour the herbal powder into a wooden basin, then add 3000ml of boiling water. Steam the mixture to allow the medicinal properties to penetrate directly into the vagina. After the liquid cools slightly, apply it to the affected area. It can also be used for sitz baths, lasting 20 minutes each time. Effectiveness: Steam bathing for 1-3 courses results in a 100% success rate. Precautions: Maintain a suitable temperature during bathing to avoid burning the skin. Steam bath once a day is more effective at midnight. There are many treatments for vaginitis, but since symptoms vary among patients, the treatment methods differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms appear.
