Patient's question:
Vaginal itching with excessive discharge in a cheese-like consistency. Can I have sex after using the cream? I've tried several medications, but none have been effective.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify this. The discharge is like cottage cheese, which suggests a possibility of candidal vulvovaginitis. Currently, you can have intercourse with a condom. Candidal vulvovaginitis should be treated by both partners to prevent mutual transmission. During treatment, avoid spicy and sweet foods, and wash underwear with boiling water. It's best to get a secretion test for diagnosis. For patients with vaginal itching, in addition to taking medication for symptomatic relief, dietary therapy can be used as a supplementary treatment. In daily diet, avoid extreme hunger or overeating, and never binge on food.
