Patient's question:
Leukorrhea color. Some yellow. Crumbly debris. Lower back feels a bit tired, the more you scratch, the more it itches. It doesn't itch if you don't scratch. Can you do a check during the antifungal medication period? What are the specific causes of candidiasis (yeast infection)?Doctor's answer:
Consider candidal vulvovaginitis, which is characterized by increased vaginal discharge, external genital itching and burning sensation, abnormal vaginal discharge. In severe cases, it may lead to recurrent lower back pain, dyspareunia, urinary urgency and dysuria, often worsening before and after menstruation. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis of vaginal discharge to guide treatment. A 2% to 4% baking soda solution can be used to rinse the vagina once or twice daily, with a 2-week course. After rinsing, the external genital area should be dried to maintain dryness and inhibit the growth of Candida. After rinsing, Nystatin tablets can be inserted deep into the vagina once daily, with a dosage of 50,000 to 100,000 units per time, for a 7-10-day course. Alternatively, Daktarin cream can be applied to the external genital area simultaneously.
