Patient's question:
For patients with vaginal candidiasis, after washing their affected area, what should they use to wash their hands to have some and prevent infection from close contact with children?Doctor's answer:
The characteristics of candidal vulvovaginitis are recurrent episodes, particularly more pronounced before and after menstruation. The treatment of recurrent candidal vulvovaginitis first requires identifying and eliminating the underlying causes that lead to repeated vaginal candidal infections, while also shortening the treatment duration and employing multiple different treatment methods simultaneously. Local treatment can involve first using traditional Chinese herbal medicine for fumigation and sitz baths, followed by medication insertion into the vagina, such as miconazole cream or clotrimazole vaginal tablets, and applying clotrimazole ointment externally. Local treatment can be implemented throughout the entire menstrual cycle, with medication cessation during menstruation and resuming treatment after the menstrual period ends.
