Patient's question:
Last week I had an abortion surgery. A few days after the surgery, my candidiasis vaginitis came back again, and now my lower body is itchy and painful. Since it wasn't long after the abortion, I don't dare to take medication randomly. So I would like to consult a doctor about how to treat candidiasis vaginitis after an abortion.Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is an inflammatory gynecological disease caused by infection with Candida albicans, and it often occurs before or after menstruation, as well as after childbirth or miscarriage. The main clinical manifestations of candidal vulvovaginitis include itching in the vagina and external genitalia, with some patients also experiencing pain. Within one month after an induced abortion, medication should not be inserted into the vagina. In such cases, oral fluconazole or itraconazole can be considered for treatment. The daily management of vaginitis primarily involves medication. Patients can take oral drugs, supplemented with vitamins, and should pay attention to their diet, consuming light, soft, and easily digestible foods. We hope that patients with vaginitis can recover quickly! Thank you!
