How to treat candidal vulvovaginitis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been experiencing frequent itching in my lower body. While taking a bath, I noticed white, cheese-like in my lower body. Upon careful examination, it was identified as fungal vaginitis. I would like to ask, what medication would be best for treating this?

Doctor's answer:

Do not overwash the vagina In normal circumstances, our vagina (disease) will maintain its own acid-base balance. It is best to avoid using cleaning agents or disinfectant solutions to clean the vagina, or even excessive scrubbing. This can not only disrupt the balance of the vaginal environment but may also cause vaginal injury. Therefore, it is sufficient to rinse with warm water during daily hygiene.
Wear breathable cotton underwear Always try to wear breathable cotton underwear and outerwear to keep things dry. If there is no excessive discharge, it is best to avoid using sanitary pads. If you do use them, make sure to change them frequently to prevent bacterial growth.
