Patient's question:
When I was pregnant, I got a fungal vaginal infection, and I kept using baking soda to wash the outer vagina. But now, the outer labia have swelled again. What could be the reason? I'm looking for help: What other medications can I use in the future?Doctor's answer:
The main clinical manifestations of candidal vulvovaginitis are vaginal itching and cottage cheese-like discharge. It can be cured, but it is prone to recurrence. If you have already given birth, it is recommended to undergo a vaginal discharge test. If it still indicates a positive result for candidiasis, you can take fluconazole orally and then use miconazole nitrate vaginal suppositories for local treatment. Underwear should be boiled in hot water and exposed to sunlight.In addition to timely treatment of vaginitis, patients should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can they improve their immunity and strengthen their belief in combating the illness. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, ensuring a balanced nutrition and timely digestion of nutrients, believing that this will definitely drive away vaginitis.
