Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had symptoms of fungal vaginitis. Now that I'm on my period, there was only a very small amount of menstrual blood on the first day, and then it stopped. However, the odor is quite strong.Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis often occurs before or after menstruation, with a discharge resembling cottage cheese, accompanied by itching and redness/swelling of the external genitalia. Both systemic and local treatments should be integrated. Oral fluconazole tablets are taken, while traditional Chinese medicine for external use is applied to the vulva with a rinse, followed by insertion. Alternate use of one tablet per night for seven days is recommended. It is not frightening to have vaginitis; patients should believe they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
