Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing some itchy and unbearable discomfort in my lower abdomen, an increase in leukorrhea, and irregular menstruation. The hospital said it might be candidiasis of the vagina. How can I effectively treat candidiasis of the vagina?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for candidal vulvovaginitis involves completely eliminating the causative factors. The choice of local or systemic antifungal medication is determined based on the patient's condition. For patients with candidal vulvovaginitis, local antifungal medication treatment is generally recommended, along with systemic antifungal medication treatment.Local antifungal medication treatment includes: miconazole suppositories, nystatin suppositories, and clotrimazole suppositories. Systemic antifungal medication treatment should also focus on completely eliminating the causative factors. If the patient has diabetes, active treatment should be provided, and broad-spectrum antibiotics, estrogens, and corticosteroid hormones should be discontinued promptly.
Change underwear frequently. Wash used underwear, basins, and towels with boiling water. Oral medication can be used for patients who cannot tolerate local medication, married women, or those unwilling to use local medication.
