Patient's question:
Doctor: I'm on the fourth day of my period today, and the external itching is unbearable. I previously had a yeast infection and used Clotrimazole suppositories for a course. On the first night of my period, the external itching started, and by the third night, it had become unbearable. How should I treat a yeast infection during my period?Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis vulvovaginitis is caused by a fungal infection. Its incidence rate has now decreased compared to trichomoniasis. In medicine, fungal infections are referred to as candidiasis, hence the term "candidiasis vulvovaginitis" is also used for this condition. Nystatin vaginal suppositories (containing 250,000 U of nystatin) should be inserted deep into the vagina twice daily (morning and evening) or once daily for two weeks. Additionally, during the treatment of vaginitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial.
