Patient's question:
Yesterday, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the results showed that I had candidiasis. The doctor prescribed two boxes of Clotrimazole vaginal tablets and one bottle of Huangsong compound wash liquid. Last night before bed, I used one vaginal tablet. This afternoon, I noticed some white discharge attached to the vaginal area and the outer side of the labia minora, and a lot of (tofu-like) substance attached to the inner side of the labia majora. Should I wash these off? Water can't rinse them away. I'm worried about using a towel because it's not clean and can harbor bacteria. How should I solve this problem?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have a fungal vaginal infection. The curd-like discharge suggests you rinse with warm water. It is recommended to use vaginal medication on schedule, usually for 7 days. It is advised to wash underwear worn during intercourse, used towels, or bathtubs with boiling water. In addition, during the treatment of vaginitis, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat appropriately to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of vaginitis.
