Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy in my private area, which is very uncomfortable, and the vaginal opening also often hurts. I know I have a gynecological disease. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told I have candidal vulvovaginitis. But is it serious? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
External Treatment: Combine Jieryin Liquid and Jieryin Effervescent Tablets for cleaning hands and the external genital area. Lie on your back. First, use 10% Jieryin to wipe the external genital area 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 outer skin and heart of lotus seeds, rinse the coix seeds, and slice the 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 the cleanliness and dryness of the external genital area at all times. Do not share towels or bathtubs with others. Avoid wearing nylon or similar fabric underwear. During illness, towels and underwear used should be boiled and sterilized.
2. Diabetic patients should pay special attention to the cleanliness of the external genital area and try to wipe it after each bowel movement.
