Patient's question:
Since suffering from candidal vaginitis, I often feel itchy down there, and sometimes there is also an odor. I have taken quite a few medications prescribed by the hospital, but they haven't completely cured it, and it keeps recurring. I heard that traditional Chinese medicine can cure it, so I wanted to ask what traditional Chinese medicine treatments are available for candidal vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
If your situation involves sexual activity, it is still recommended to choose vaginal cleansing agents or medication insertion for treatment. Generally, local treatment is more effective for vaginal infections, while systemic medication does not show significant results. Common traditional Chinese medicine options for vaginal irrigation and medication insertion include Kunshen Wash and Kunshen Gel. Therefore, you can consider these treatments to see if they are effective. Follow the doctor's advice regarding medication use.In addition to standard treatment for vaginal infections, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy or irritating foods. At the same time, patients should choose a top-tier hospital for diagnosis to ensure better treatment outcomes.
