Patient's question:
23-year-old virgin with abnormal vaginal discharge for two years. At first, she didn't take it seriously because it wasn't painful or itchy. She thought it was just yellow discharge after her period and didn't pay attention. However, in February this year, she started treatment for her vaginal discharge. The routine test showed candidal vaginitis, and the doctor prescribed fluconazole, but the symptoms still haven't improved. What should she do now?Doctor's answer:
The routine test results of leukorrhea show that candidal vaginitis can cause yellow discharge and irregular menstruation, leading to the transmission of candidiasis. Generally, topical anti-inflammatory and antifungal medications are used as the primary treatment. If fluconazole is ineffective, it can be replaced with ciprofloxacin. Additionally, oral ciprofloxacin should be taken, and attention should be paid to hygiene. Undergarments should be changed frequently, and clothing should be washed regularly. Combining these with heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine herbs, such as Sanhuang Pian and Jinyinhua Granules, can be more effective.When patients face abnormal leukorrhea, we should actively conduct examinations and treatment without avoiding medical visits. If the abnormal leukorrhea does not improve with treatment, a new treatment plan should be adopted promptly.
