Patient's question:
The vagina is itchy and slightly red, and there are-like substances in the underwear. It also hurts when urinating. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and said it was a case of candidal vaginitis. However, I don't know how to insert the clotrimazole suppository into the vagina. I've tried several times, but it hasn't worked. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis can be treated with clotrimazole suppositories under the guidance of a doctor. It is recommended to follow the doctor's instructions for medication. You can rinse the external genitalia and the inside of the vagina with warm water, then squat and use a finger cot to place the medication as deeply into the vagina as possible. It is advised to avoid sexual activity during the treatment period. If you are unable to successfully place the medication yourself, you can go to the hospital for vaginal medication treatment. The daily treatment for patients with vaginitis is primarily symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to regular sleep patterns and avoid alcohol. We hope that patients with vaginitis can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
