Patient's question:
Onset time: Over a month. Main symptoms: Local pain in the vulva. Previous treatment and effectiveness: The doctor diagnosed it as candidal vulvitis. Desired assistance: I have taken Terbinafine hydrochloride tablets before and am currently taking Itraconazole capsules. External medications used include Ganlin wash and Compound Qingdai injection. Creams used include Daktarin and Shenfucao. The treatment effect has reduced significantly, but it hasn't fully healed. Sometimes it itches a little, and the discharge is still curd-like, but it is much less than before. I started my period these past two days and am very worried about the condition worsening. Could you please help me with the treatment? I am still taking Itraconazole. I sincerely hope you can help me. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Currently, Western medicine's treatment for vaginitis is still based on symptomatic relief. Traditional Chinese medicine treats vaginitis through holistic therapy or clearing dampness and heat, strengthening the spleen to transform dampness, or tonifying the liver and kidneys, or soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen, combined with insecticidal, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic measures. While internal treatment is administered, external treatment methods are integrated, achieving a synergistic internal and external approach. Clinical diagnosis and therapeutic outcomes have been good, with no significant adverse side effects. Currently, since external treatment drugs are directly applied to the affected area, they are highly targeted. Moreover, the drugs are refined rapidly, causing minimal impact on the body's internal environment, taking effect quickly. It is a non-psychologically traumatic treatment method with simple operation.
