Patient's question:
Vaginal itching for over ten years, went for a thorough check-up yesterday and was diagnosed with candidal vaginitis, with a cleanliness level of 3. The doctor performed a single session of red light and ozone treatment, saying that further intracavity medication would be required, costing 1700 per session. It needs to be done in a course, and I feel it's a bit too expensive. Is it really necessary to undergo these treatments?Doctor's answer:
Do you usually have a lot of leukorrhea? Is the leukorrhea like cottage cheese? Did the doctor prescribe any medication for you? For candidal vaginitis, it is recommended to use sodium bicarbonate to clean the external genitalia and vagina, and always maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia while paying attention to personal hygiene. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and use boiling water to wash underwear, basins, towels, etc. Then dry them in the sun. An alkaline solution with 2% to 4% sodium bicarbonate solution can also be used to clean the external genitalia and vagina.
