Patient's question:
Hello, the doctor said I have candidiasis and prescribed a dehumidifying, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving wash. How do I use it? Do I need to use a vaginal to rinse?Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis, also known as vaginal yeast infection, is caused by an infection with Candida albicans, one type of mold. Unlike trichomoniasis, Candida thrives particularly well in acidic environments and is usually spread through direct contact.Symptoms: The most common symptoms include excessive vaginal discharge, burning and itching of the external genitalia and vagina. It can also affect the urethra, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, and dysuria.
Treatment: Use an alkaline solution, such as sodium bicarbonate or soapy water, to wash the external genitalia and vagina. This helps alter the vaginal pH to create a less favorable environment for Candida growth. After washing, insert antifungal tablets or suppositories into the vagina, and apply clotrimazole cream to the external genitalia for better results.
In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with vaginal infections should pay attention to maintaining deep sleep throughout the day. Sufficient deep sleep is essential to help you recover from this condition more quickly.
