Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy in the groin area, which is very uncomfortable, and the vaginal opening often hurts. I know I have a gynecological disease. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I have candidal vulvovaginitis. But is it serious? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
External Treatment: Combine Jieryin Cleansing Solution and Jieryin Effervescent Tablets. Wash hands and external genitalia thoroughly. Lie on your back. First, use 10% Jieryin to clean the external genitalia and vagina. Then, with a sterile finger cot, place one Jieryin effervescent tablet into the deep posterior fornix of the vagina. Do this twice a day, with a 7-day course of treatment.Dietary Therapy: Lotus Seed and Coix Seed Soup: Remove the skin and heart from lotus seeds, rinse coix seeds, and slice clam meat thinly. Place them in a clay pot, add 750 ml of water, and simmer over low heat for 1 hour. It can be consumed after cooking. Generally, it is taken for 7-10 days.
Preventive Measures:
1. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia at all times. Do not share towels or bathtubs with others. Avoid wearing nylon or similar fabric underwear. Soak and sterilize towels and underwear used during illness.
2. Diabetic patients should pay special attention to external genital hygiene and try to wash the external genitalia after each bowel movement.
