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 especially painful, and it continued to hurt for a while after I finished work. Is it because of the vaginitis? I thought it had already improved, so I stopped taking medication.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for candidal vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease requires strictly adhering 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. It is not advisable to 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. Otherwise, the infection may recur. Additionally, patients should maintain a positive mood to avoid exacerbating the condition.
