Patient's question:
Today I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with candidiasis of the vagina. They prescribed traditional Chinese medicine for external washing. I want to ask if I need to wipe again after using the traditional Chinese medicine for external washing. When using the traditional Chinese medicine, should I only wipe the outside or also wash the inside of the vagina? They prescribed a Clotrimazole Vaginal, and do I have to wash it in the morning on the third day?Doctor's answer:
For treating candidal vaginitis, after taking traditional Chinese medicine, there is no need to use a rinse. You can directly apply the medication. On the third day, you may not need to rinse when using nystatin suppositories. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene during treatment and avoid sexual activity. After washing the underwear, boil it for a few minutes to sterilize it. After treatment, a follow-up examination is necessary, as vaginitis is a condition that is not easy to recover from. Friends with the condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in fighting vaginitis and believe that recovery is certain.
