Patient's question:
I have had a vaginal yeast infection for about four or five months. I have strictly followed the doctor's instructions, and after each menstrual period, I have carefully checked and there were no problems. But a few days before the menstrual period, it broke out again. What should I do? Should I still focus on treatment? The doctor said that long-term use of that medication can cause drug resistance and also lead to dysbiosis. How should recurrent vaginal yeast infections be treated?Doctor's answer:
To thoroughly cure candidal vaginitis, on the one hand, the physician should provide a detailed explanation of the medication method and the criteria for cure, on the other hand, it is recommended that patients should endure the treatment, undergo follow-up tests regularly, and not be afraid of the inconvenience. Terconazole, also known as ketoconazole, is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that has a good therapeutic effect on various types of tinea caused by skin molds, yeasts, and other fungi. In clinical diagnosis, it is commonly used to treat conditions such as tinea pedis, onychomycosis, candidal vaginitis, fungal oral candidiasis, fungal pneumonia, and systemic fungal infections. There are several treatment methods for vaginitis, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the treatment methods used also differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and careful examination and diagnosis to ensure that the treatment is targeted.
