What is the reason for-like vaginal discharge after taking medication for vaginitis?

Patient's question:

After taking medication for candidal vaginitis, there is still occasional slight itching and cottage cheese-like discharge. It has been more than half a month since starting treatment. Should I continue using it diligently?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! The condition you described, candidal vulvovaginitis, has not been fully treated yet. It requires focused treatment, otherwise it is very easy to relapse. It is recommended that during medication, you strictly avoid sexual intercourse and pay attention to personal hygiene, keeping the external genital area clean and dry. Underwear should be changed frequently, boiled and dried in the sun.
For patients, if the condition of vaginitis is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of vaginitis. In addition, patients should maintain a proper diet and stay in a good mood. I hope the answers above can help everyone. Thank you.
