Patient's question:
A few days ago, I felt unwell and went to the hospital for a white discharge test. The doctor said it was a yeast infection and prescribed medication. After taking this medicine, I felt worse than before. I stopped taking it and used Jieshining and suppositories brought from my hometown. The symptoms significantly improved. However, after stopping the medication for a few days, I experienced a burning sensation again today, and my discharge turned yellow and curd-like, with a much larger amount than before. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Candida Vulvovaginitis Treatment1. Use alkaline solutions such as 2~4% sodium bicarbonate or water to rinse the external genitalia and vagina, altering the vaginal pH to favor Candida growth. After rinsing, insert Nystatin tablets or suppositories into the vagina.
2. Fluconazole can also be used for treatment.
During treatment, avoid sexual intercourse and change to a freshly washed and sterilized set of underwear daily. Recheck after the menstrual period.
Patients with candidal vulvovaginitis can use home remedies as supplementary treatment while following standard medical treatment. Maintain a proper diet in daily life to avoid irritating foods.
