Patient's question:
I previously had a second episode of candidal vulvovaginitis. A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test, which came back normal, but I still have some itching down there. The doctor prescribed Nifuratel and Bacitracin vaginal soft capsules to be used for three months, with two boxes (12 days) per month. I have been using it for five days now and still feel occasional itching. I checked the instructions, and it doesn’t mention treating candidal vulvovaginitis. I’d like to ask if this medication is actually for treating it? Is it necessary to alternate its use for 12 days each month? Can I use Daktarin suppositories instead? Can I have sex during this period? I hope you can clarify these questions for me. Thank you very much?Doctor's answer:
I am very happy to provide services. According to the description, candidiasis infection should be treated with external use of Daktar suppositories, and anal itching can be treated with Daktar cream. It is recommended to use Baizhi Qushi wash solution for sitz baths, ensure external genital hygiene, avoid spicy and greasy foods, and do not wear leather or synthetic fiber underwear. Patients face the harm of vaginitis and should actively implement checks and treatment. Do not avoid medical visits. If vaginitis does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly change the treatment plan.
