Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with candidal vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease, as well as cervical cysts. I used suppositories and topical washes for two weeks. Today, during sexual activity, it was particularly painful, and it still hurt for a while after I finished work. Is it because of the vaginitis? I thought it had already healed, so I stopped taking medication.Doctor's answer:
The treatment for candidal vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease requires strict adherence to the prescribed course of therapy. After a period of medication, follow-up tests are necessary, and medication should only be discontinued upon confirmation of full recovery by the attending physician. Patients should not stop medication simply because symptoms appear to be completely gone.For patients, if the vaginal infection is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are essential to prevent recurrence. Additionally, maintaining a positive mood is important to avoid worsening the condition.
