Patient's question:
A week ago, I experienced itching in the external genital area and had a lot of cottage cheese-like white discharge. I didn't get a thorough check at the time, and the outpatient doctor, based on experience, diagnosed it as candidiasis and prescribed a cleansing solution and baking soda for washing, as well as an intravaginal. Two days later, the white discharge and itching disappeared. However, at the time of itching, the external genital area was slightly scratched, and later it developed into pus, which became more severe. It wasn't itchy or particularly painful, unless there was significant movement or urination pain. Later, I had a detailed check of the white discharge (secretions) at the hospital, and there were no abnormalities. The doctor prescribed ozone treatment, erythromycin ointment, and miconazole ointment for external use, as well as miconazole tablets for intravaginal use. At night, I felt localized itching in the external genital area, assuming it was due to the medication. In the morning, I noticed several new pustules had formed in the itchy areas, which were small, round, and about the size of green beans. However, they weren't painful.Doctor's answer:
Wait until the results come out to make a choice. Sexually transmitted diseases are mostly spread through sexual contact, and there is also a possibility of transmission by touching the patient's secretions. Regardless of the disease, it is necessary to receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In fact, having vulvar itching is not terrible. The patient should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as timely treatment is provided in the early stages, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
