Patient's question:
The hospital conducted a thorough examination for candidal vulvovaginitis. Due to being in the breastfeeding period, no intravenous infusion or oral medication was administered. The patient visited the hospital daily for cleaning and medication application. Except for a little redness, the patient wanted to stop the hospital treatment and manage it at home with local medication. Can local medication effectively treat candidal vulvovaginitis during breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
It is necessary for both husband and wife to receive treatment simultaneously. It is recommended to use povidone-iodine solution to clean the affected area. The best local vaginal medication for gynecological experts is Baofukang suppository for vaginal use. Additionally, the male partner can take metronidazole orally. During the treatment period, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink more hot water, eat more light meals, pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and avoid sexual intercourse during treatment. I wish you a speedy recovery!In addition to timely treatment for vaginitis, patients should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can they reduce their immunity and strengthen their belief in fighting the disease. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care and monitor changes in their symptoms. They believe that this will definitely drive away vaginitis.
