Patient's question:
I was pregnant for 8 months when I contracted candidal vulvovaginitis. After using clotrimazole, it improved. Ten days after giving birth and having a D&C procedure, the vagina started itching again and I was still experiencing lochia. How should I be treated?Doctor's answer:
This disease is mostly caused by Candida infection, which is present in the skin, mucous membranes, and vagina of healthy individuals. Under certain conditions, Candida can invade the human body and cause inflammation. Its infection in the female reproductive tract often affects the vagina, leading to conditions such as candidal vaginitis and cervicitis. Hospital examinations may reveal swollen external genitalia, exfoliated epidermis, and scratch marks. The typical discharge is white, clumpy, and cheese-like, with a foul odor.It is recommended that you try Li Baimian Funjindan, a herbal preparation that can help restore immune function. Take one pill daily for three menstrual cycles to prevent recurrence. It is also important to treat sexual partners simultaneously to achieve the goal of prevention. I hope this explanation is helpful to you.
