Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing intense vaginal itching. The hospital said it's a fungal vaginal infection. How is a fungal vaginal infection treated?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is accompanied by abnormal discharge, usually changing into a cottage cheese-like consistency, along with symptoms of itching in the outer and vaginal areas. Candidal vulvovaginitis is more prone to occur when the body's immunity is low, so it is essential to treat it according to the prescribed course, with three months constituting one treatment cycle. Currently, the medications used to treat candidal vulvovaginitis mainly include Daktarin suppositories and nystatin vaginal suppositories. Oral nystatin and fluconazole can also be used. It is important to pay attention to hygiene to prevent the rampant spread of pathogenic bacteria, eliminate sources of infection, and enhance the body's immunity to prevent the condition from occurring.
