Patient's question:
I feel like I might have a gynecological disease. My vaginal discharge has been like cottage cheese recently and has a foul odor. Can I avoid a thorough examination and try to heal at home?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is considered to be candidiasis. It is recommended to use baking soda to rinse the external genitalia before taking a nap in the evening, and then place one vaginal clotrimazole tablet inside the vagina. A course of treatment typically lasts for 7-10 days. If it is ineffective, please seek medical attention at a gynecology department promptly for a discharge test. The daily treatment for gynecological patients primarily focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can take various oral medications and supplement with multiple vitamins.
