Patient's question:
I previously carefully checked and confirmed that I had candidal vaginitis, but it disappeared after a thorough check-up at the end of October. Then, it flared up again before my period in November, and it improved after my period. Recently, it has flared up again with cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and itching. I am planning to conceive and want to know how to treat it. It seems that my husband might have been infected by me too, as he is also itchy. I would like to know how men should be treated for this condition.Doctor's answer:
Your candidiasis vulvovaginitis needs to be treated before you can get pregnant. If it's not cured and you get pregnant, it will be much worse. You can take fluconazole tablets orally, 3 tablets at once. Then, apply medication to the vagina using Daktarin suppositories, nystatin suppositories, or clotrimazole vaginal tablets. Choose one type. Your husband can wash and clean his penis and apply Daktarin ointment externally. He can also take fluconazole orally. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited.When patients face the distress of vaginitis, we should actively implement thorough examinations and treatment, without avoiding medical visits. If the vaginitis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly switch to an alternative treatment plan.
