Patient's question:
The other day, I had some itching in the external genital area, along with small bumps. The discharge returned to a cottage cheese-like consistency, and after researching, I found out it might be a case of candidal vulvovaginitis. However, before I could start medication, my period arrived. Now that my period has passed, the bumps are gone, the discharge is no longer cottage cheese-like, and the itching has subsided as well. What could be happening in this case? Should I still take medication?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is considered to be caused by a fungal infection. Upon careful examination, there is swelling of the external genitalia, and the epidermis can be peeled off, with possible scratch marks. The inner side of the labia minora and the vaginal mucosa are covered with white membranous substances. It is recommended that you try Furen Jindan. This medication is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation that can completely restore immune function. Take one pill once a day, and use it continuously for three months. Maintaining a positive mood is also a good way to boost immunity. I hope this explanation is helpful to you.
