What should I do if there is a lot of white discharge in candidal vaginitis?

Patient's question:

Candida vaginitis. The doctor said there was a lot of leukorrhea inside. I was cleaned at the hospital for three days, then applied medicine and received intravenous fluids for three days, but it seems to have no effect. Enlarged inguinal lymph nodes. The doctor said that without intravenous fluids, the candidiasis could still spread to the bloodstream. Is it that serious? Is it better to clean and apply medicine at home, or to clean at the hospital? Although the hospital cleaning uses disposable items, I'm still afraid of cross-infection.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I am very happy to assist you. For simple vulvovaginal candidiasis, local medication is the primary treatment, and symptoms usually improve or disappear 2-3 days after medication. Vaginal suppositories are used every other day, for a total of two times. Regarding the treatment of complex vulvovaginal candidiasis, the medications used are generally the same as for simple vulvovaginal candidiasis. Whether using local or systemic medication, the treatment duration should be appropriately shortened.
