Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 24 years old, and I have had vaginal itching for a week. Today, an ultrasound examination showed 5mm of pelvic fluid, with cervical redness, swelling, and peeling. In addition to a large amount of cottage cheese-like discharge in the vagina, the doctor gave me an intravenous infusion and additional instrumental treatment. However, the doctor also asked me to use a patch and get injections, all of which cost hundreds of dollars. Can you help me confirm whether I can be cured with just intravenous infusion and medication? My urine test is weakly positive.Doctor's answer:
It could be physiological fluid accumulation, which can resolve on its own. Temporary careful observation is recommended without treatment. Cheesy white discharge indicates candidal vaginitis, and medication is not necessary. External medication is preferred. Use a 2-4% sodium bicarbonate solution for sitz baths or vaginal irrigation, followed by inserting nystatin suppositories into the vagina. Vaginal itching is a condition that is difficult to recover from. Friends with this condition should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset, as only this can reduce their confidence in combating vaginal itching.
