Patient's question:
Recently, I went to the hospital to get an abortion procedure. Before the surgery, a thorough examination revealed a vaginal cleanliness level of 3, and I was prescribed Baofukang Suppositories. After taking the medication for 4 days, I went back to the hospital for a follow-up examination. The results today showed that the cleanliness level remained at 3, and there was also a fungal infection. I have not had any sexual activity recently. The doctor prescribed Nifurterol and Bacitracin Vaginal Capsules and Triamcinolone Acetonide and Econazole Cream. (I had a comprehensive physical examination a month ago, and all gynecological tests were normal.) Please advise the experts! I am truly grateful!Doctor's answer:
Candida infection is recommended to be treated by scrubbing the external genitalia and vagina with an alkaline solution of sodium bicarbonate, followed by inserting nystatin suppositories into the vagina. Applying clotrimazole cream to the external genitalia afterward can yield better results. On a daily basis, the external genitalia and vagina can be washed with Jieryin, while underwear should be changed daily and washed together with towels and basins. Patients directly face the harm of vaginitis, and we should actively implement thorough examinations and treatments without avoiding medical visits. If vaginitis does not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
