Patient's question:
Once in the hospital, a vaginal discharge test revealed only a small amount of mold, and I was prescribed medication—various washes, suppositories, and oral medications—all of which had no significant effect. In reality, I only had mild itching, not severe. However, it never fully disappeared, and I have used many medications. The last one was Bencao Yanku, which relieved the itching after a few days, but it returned after two more days. The itching first started on the labia majora and then spread to the vulva, accompanied by cottage cheese-like discharge in large quantities. But the itching was always mild and intermittent, not constant. Can I apply Daktarin cream to the affected area? Should my husband use it as well? How long should I continue applying it?Doctor's answer:
This is a fungal vaginal infection. Fungal vaginal infection is a common gynecological condition, often caused by fungal infection, characterized by curd-like white discharge. Fungal vaginal infection is prone to occur, and both partners should be treated simultaneously. It is recommended to use baking soda water for rinsing and insert Dian Ning suppository deep into the vagina. Continue medication for 3 to 4 weeks. Men can use the ointment you mentioned, as it is not a face-to-face consultation and the advice is for reference only.
