Patient's question:
Another message, I have been driven mad by this illness, and I don't know what to do anymore. What kind of help do I need: It is said that there is a condition called vaginal candidiasis that can be treated with live lactic acid bacteria capsules. This can help digest the good bacteria in the vagina. Teachers, can I use it? By the way, I inserted a clotrimazole suppository into my vagina last night because the pain was unbearable. Can I still use it? Is this live lactic acid bacteria capsule effective?Doctor's answer:
In this case, there is a fungal vaginal infection, which requires a systematic and comprehensive evaluation for treatment to prevent recurring relapses and the development of drug resistance. Lactic acid bacteria should only be used after the vaginal infection is cured.For fungal vaginal infection, the treatment method involves using sodium bicarbonate solution for nightly vaginal washing and alternating the use of miconazole vaginal suppositories or clotrimazole vaginal suppositories nightly for 10 days. Additionally, one oral antifungal medication should be taken for a 5-7 day course. (Antibiotics must absolutely not be used, as they will only temporarily alleviate the condition).
A hospital test of vaginal discharge is required; if it is normal for three consecutive times, it is considered cured. Otherwise, there is a high risk of recurring relapses. It is particularly important to note that sexual partners should also be treated simultaneously. Men with phimosis may require circumcision if necessary. Pay attention to sterilizing underwear, especially under the influence of sunlight.
