Patient's question:
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: I may have contracted candidal vulvovaginitis ten years ago. After treatment, the vaginal examination was normal, but the vulva became increasingly severe, covered with a layer of white fuzz. I used mugwort steam bathing for fourteen days, but three days after stopping, it returned to the same condition. I would like to ask you, dear expert, if there is a good treatment method. Does prolonged use of mugwort steam bathing have side effects? I am looking forward to your assistance: Treatment methods. Does prolonged use of mugwort steam bathing have toxic side effects? I am looking forward to your help.Doctor's answer:
1, Completely eliminate the cause, if you have diabetes, actively treat it, stop using antibiotics and hormones in a timely manner. Change underwear frequently, and use boiling water to wash underwear and towels that have been used.2, Local treatment, use 2%–4% sodium bicarbonate to wash the external genitalia and vagina every night, insert one clotrimazole suppository, and alternate for 7 days as a course of treatment.
3, Systemic treatment, take 400 mg of ketoconazole tablets once a day, alternate for 5 days. If you have liver disease, you can switch to fluconazole.
