Patient's question:
More than a week, increased leukorrhea, itchy downstairs, more itchy during urination. Past treatment and effectiveness: Six months ago, due to unsafe sexual contact, I had a thorough check-up at the hospital and was diagnosed with candidal vulvovaginitis. I took medication for two weeks. After one week of treatment, I had another instance of unsafe sexual contact. Later, I focused on taking the medication. After finishing the medication, I stopped caring about it, feeling that the condition had improved. What kind of help do I need: I don't want to go to the hospital anymore. Can you tell me what medication I should use?Doctor's answer:
The reason your symptoms still persist due to incomplete treatment of candidiasis is that vaginitis is a chronic gynecological inflammation, which can be transmitted due to poor hygiene in the private area. Treatment for candidiasis requires attention to the following points:1. You can use a 2% sodium bicarbonate solution for vaginal irrigation, followed by placing nystatin tablets or clotrimazole effervescent tablets inside the vagina. During this period, pay attention to personal hygiene to prevent recurrence.
2. Pay attention to the appropriate use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and hormones. This condition can also be transmitted through sexual contact, so sexual activity should be avoided during treatment. If necessary, both partners should undergo examination simultaneously.
