Patient's question:
I am 37 years old this year, and I have abnormal white discharge, which appears like curd-like substance, and it is quite a lot. It's not really serious, but the white discharge is not normal. How should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
It is worth considering how to address the issue of vaginal candidiasis. However, further laboratory tests on the discharge should be conducted for diagnosis. It is recommended to have the discharge tested at a hospital. If vaginal candidiasis is confirmed, it is advised to add a 4% baking soda solution to the bath water for sitz baths. Persist with this method daily, with each session lasting approximately the duration of a incense stick. After bathing, insert miconazole suppositories, Daktarin suppositories, or clotrimazole suppositories into the vagina. Alternatively, oral fluconazole capsules can be tried, which also yield good treatment effects.In terms of personal hygiene, it is important to maintain cleanliness of the external genital area. Wash the external genital area daily with clean water and change underwear frequently. Underwear should be washed separately and dried in the sun.
