Patient's question:
I have had watery white discharge for two days. I went to the hospital for a check-up today and was diagnosed with candidal vulvovaginitis. The doctor said the redness and swelling were severe. The doctor prescribed vaginal irrigation, asking the nurse to mix potassium permanganate with water for irrigation and then expose it to light for three days. Then the doctor prescribed medication. How to deal with redness and swelling caused by candidal vulvovaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be caused by a fungal infection, the symptoms of fungal vaginitis primarily include increased vaginal discharge, itching and burning sensation in the external genitalia and vagina, painful urination, redness and swelling around the external genitalia, and it may also lead to Bartholinitis. It is recommended that you try Li Baimian Funjing Dan. This medication contains traditional Chinese herbal ingredients and can help restore immune function. Take one pill daily, and continue using it for three menstrual cycles to prevent recurrence. Additionally, maintain a regular daily routine and avoid staying up late or overexerting yourself, as these can worsen the condition of vaginitis. Pay attention to dietary issues as well, avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent aggravating the condition.
