Patient's question:
Candidal vulvovaginitis, I have been taking medication for three days now. The itching has stopped, but I noticed that there is still a milky discharge, which disappears after every bathroom trip. What could be happening? Should I continue taking the medication as prescribed, or wait until after my next menstrual period to start?Doctor's answer:
This consideration is about the residual substances that are excreted after the medication dissolves. After completing a course without any discomfort, use it again 3 days after the next menstrual period. During this time, pay attention to a light diet and maintain vaginal hygiene. The harm that vaginitis brings to patients is very significant. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, focus on self-care training, eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid foods that may affect the condition. It is hoped that vaginitis patients can receive professional treatment.
