Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had a thorough check-up and was diagnosed with candidal vaginitis and cervical erosion degree II. The doctor prescribed Clotrimazole. It's been three days since I started taking the medication, and there's still a continuous flow of yellow-green liquid, although the itching has subsided. This morning when I went to bed, I noticed the yellow-green liquid had thickened. Should I continue taking the medication diligently?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is primarily characterized by cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge accompanied by symptoms of vaginal itching. It is recommended to pay attention to vaginal hygiene, gently rinse the vaginal area with warm water every night, and strictly avoid sexual activity during treatment while focusing on medication.Cervical erosion of degree II refers to the erosion area of the cervix being greater than one-third but less than two-thirds of the cervix's surface area. Treatment is not necessarily required, and whether it needs to be treated depends on the symptoms experienced by the patient and the results of relevant examinations. If there are no symptoms such as contact bleeding, lower abdominal pain, backache, or abnormal yellow vaginal discharge with an odor, treatment is generally not needed.
