Menstrual delay and abnormal vaginal discharge: How to treat

Patient's question:

My period started on the 7th, and it's already the 10th of this month, but it hasn't stopped yet. Also, a few days ago, I had a recurrence of candidal vaginitis, and I didn't take it seriously. My discharge is still a bit abnormal. Last month, during intercourse, the sperm didn't go inside.

Doctor's answer:

1. General treatment: Actively treat other conditions that can lead to candidal vulvovaginitis and completely eliminate susceptible factors. Maintain external genital hygiene and dryness, and avoid scratching. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited during treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
2. Changing the vaginal pH: The optimal pH value for Candida growth is 5.5. Therefore, using alkaline solutions to clean the external genitalia and vagina can alter the vaginal pH, which will inhibit the growth of Candida.
3. Medication treatment: Choose sensitive antifungal medications and administer them intravaginally. It is recommended to visit a formal hospital gynecology department promptly and, under the guidance of a doctor, determine a treatment method suitable for you, sensitive medications, and receive standardized and systematic treatment, which can be cured.
