Patient's question:
I previously had candidiasis, and I had a thorough examination at the hospital, took medication, and subsequent tests showed negative results. However, recently, I'm experiencing itching again, and my discharge resembles cottage cheese. What medication should I use?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be recurring. It's best to first pay attention to cleaning the external genitalia. If it doesn't improve, further thorough examination is recommended. It is advised to eat fewer spicy foods, quit smoking and drinking, and drink more water regularly. You can also use a 1:5000 solution of potassium permanganate to clean the external genitalia, along with povidone-iodine for sterilization, and carefully observe the condition. If it still doesn't improve, further thorough examination is recommended. Vaginal inflammation is a serious condition, and patients should seek timely treatment. It is recommended that patients follow their doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, it is important to focus on self-care training and proper diet to avoid worsening the condition.
