Patient's question:
It was found to be candidiasis of the vagina. The doctor told me to use the medicine for the first 5 days, using it every day. But later, due to being too tired after work, I went home and fell asleep directly and only used it on the second night. The medicine was skipped for another day and then used again. Is it okay? It was found to be candidiasis of the vagina, and the doctor told me to use the medicine for the first 5 days?Doctor's answer:
This will affect the treatment effect. Vaginal candidiasis is very easy to develop, and it is essential to take the medication according to the prescribed course. It is recommended that you strictly follow the treatment course, stabilize the treatment, and stop medication only after the follow-up vaginal discharge test is negative. For severe vaginal infection patients, it is advised to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications for treatment, as this may worsen the condition.
