Patient's question:
Doctor, I have had itching, redness, and increased white discharge in my external genital area for the past two days. Besides the white patches on the inside of my external genital area, how did I get candidiasis of the vagina? Is there any way to treat it, what should I pay attention to, and what medication should I take? Can I use baking soda to wash candidiasis of the vagina?Doctor's answer:
Increased leukorrhea, cervicitis is one of the common gynecological diseases, and it mostly occurs in women who have had sexual activity. Cervicitis is divided into acute and chronic types. Acute cervicitis often coexists with acute endometritis or acute vaginitis, but chronic cervicitis is more common. The main symptom of chronic cervicitis is increased leukorrhea. Leukorrhea appears as creamy mucous, sometimes yellow or purulent, and when polyps are formed, it may cause bloody leukorrhea or post-coital bleeding. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity, it may cause lower back pain, lower abdominal fullness and dysmenorrhea. Integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment has great advantages in this regard, as it is less likely to develop drug resistance. Chinese herbal medicine collections include Gynecological Qianjin Tablets (capsules).
