Patient's question:
In June, I went to the hospital for a check-up and found that I had a fungal infection. However, it didn't seem to get better after taking medication. My discharge is still normal, and now it's quite heavy every day, sometimes a bit wet. Today, I noticed a little bit of blood, and this time during my period, there were many small blood clots, as well as larger ones. The amount is also more than before. I don't have time to see a doctor right now... Please help me, what could be the reason? Thank you.First follow-up question: This morning, I noticed a little bit of blood, but tonight there's a lot of blood. My period has only been going on for half a month. What could be the reason?
Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis (yeast infection) can be transmitted through indirect contact. Touching contaminated toilet seats, bathtubs, whirlpool chairs, or towels, using unclean toilet paper, can all lead to transmission. Sexual transmission is also one of the causes. Overly meticulous hygiene. Some women frequently use medicinal douches to clean their vaginas to maintain hygiene, which can easily disrupt the vaginal pH balance and make them more susceptible to yeast infections.Pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the external genital area clean and dry; wash and change underwear frequently, do not share towels or bathtubs with others, and avoid wearing nylon or similar fabric underwear. During the illness, used towels and underwear should be boiled to disinfect.
