Patient's question:
I have had a lot of leukorrhea these days, with a curd-like texture and creamy white color, accompanied by lower back pain. Since yesterday, the external left side has started to become red and swollen and painful, but there is no itching symptom. Is this a case of fungal vaginitis? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is a typical case of fungal vaginitis. Treatment generally involves oral and local medication! Both partners should be treated simultaneously. Improper use of antibiotics or the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics may worsen symptoms. You can decide to use Nystatin tablets and Daktarin suppositories for treatment, with a course of 5-7 days. It is recommended that you get a vaginal discharge test done at a local hospital and take medication under the guidance of a doctor after diagnosis. Additionally, you should avoid sexual activity during medication and maintain good hygiene for the external genitalia. Underwear and socks should be washed separately. In addition to timely treatment for vaginitis, patients also need to pay attention to care aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for diagnosis to achieve better treatment outcomes.
