Patient's question:
I have candidiasis, and I am using miconazole nitrate for treatment. I have completed three courses of treatment. During the treatment, I first used Jie'eryin liquid to clean the external and internal vulva before inserting the medication. At that time, there were no adverse reactions. After three courses, the doctor told me to stop using the medication and just focus on cleaning the area with Jie'eryin liquid.Now, a week after stopping the medication, there is some oily residue medication discharge, but there is absolutely no itching. However, every time I use Jie'eryin liquid to clean the internal and external vulva as before, the area starts to feel itchy. If I skip cleaning for a few days, there is absolutely no itching, but as soon as I clean, it feels very itchy! Before, I never experienced itching when using Jie'eryin liquid! What is going on now?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if you feel uncomfortable after taking medication, it is recommended that you stop taking the medication and wait for careful observation. If there is significant improvement, it is suggested that you do not use medication excessively, as overuse can destroy the normal microbial environment of the vagina. Pay attention to external genital hygiene, wash the external genital area with warm water daily, and drink an appropriate amount of water to prevent irritation from spicy foods and sweets. Additionally, during the treatment of vaginitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach upset, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
