Patient's question:
A few days ago, my white discharge turned yellow. Now during my menstrual period, I have vaginal itching, external genital itching, redness, swelling, and pain. Can I take fluconazole tablets?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms described, you can wait until your menstrual period is over and then go to a regular hospital gynecology department for a check-up. Have a routine vaginal discharge test to see. Based on the situation, symptomatic treatment can be administered. Pay attention to rest, maintain personal hygiene, and keep the external genital area clean and dry. Wear loose cotton underwear, and wash underwear with boiling water and expose them to the sun. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat some meat, eggs, milk, and fresh vegetables appropriately. Exercise moderately to boost your immune system. For patients with severe external genital itching, seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Do not blindly rely on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition.
