Patient's question:
Another flare-up. In the past year, I have been using Daktarin suppositories and fluconazole for treatment. My treatment history and effectiveness: No medication allergies. I had a partial hysterectomy. What kind of help do you need: Hello, how should I be guided in the correct use of medication? Can I use baking soda for long-term cleaning?Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis (also known as vulvovaginal candidiasis) primarily presents with symptoms such as external genital itching, burning pain, a curd-like discharge, or creamy, clumpy white discharge that significantly increases in amount. It is recommended to use alkaline solutions, such as 2% to 4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water, to clean the external genital area and vagina to alter the vaginal pH. Additionally, during the treatment of vaginal infections, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and mental state are also particularly important. Patients must avoid excessive mental stress and anxiety to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of the vaginal infection.
