Patient's question:
I have already started taking fluconazole, and I was wondering if you could help me guess how to treat it well.Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis is a stubborn and painful condition. I suggest that the main symptoms of candidiasis are intense itching of the external genitalia and a cottage cheese-like discharge. You can rinse the vagina with baking soda solution and then use nystatin tablets to treat the vagina. If the treatment is thorough and the medication is stopped, it generally will not recur. Of course, it is still important to maintain good hygiene of the genital area to prevent infection. During treatment, it is essential to adhere to the medication and complete the full course to avoid recurrence. Avoid spicy and irritating foods during this period and maintain a light diet. Abstain from sexual activity to prevent cross-infection. Also, pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the external genitalia clean and dry.
