Patient's question:
I have been feeling itchy in my external genital area for a while, and my vaginal discharge has also been more than usual. I suspect I might have a vaginal infection, so I went to the hospital to see a doctor. The doctor said I have candidiasis (yeast infection) and mild cervical erosion. How should I treat candidiasis with mild cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis and cervical erosion are both types of gynecological inflammation. In clinical diagnosis, if the vaginitis is fungal in nature, the treatment primarily involves the local external application of antifungal medications. For mild cervical erosion, clinical diagnosis during treatment is preferably managed with local medication, such as cervical erosion gel. It can also be combined with local laser or microwave therapy for simultaneous treatment. During the medication and treatment period, it is essential to pay close attention to personal hygiene.
