Patient's question:
White discharge with itching, went to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test, which showed candidiasis. The doctor prescribed baking soda powder and clotrimazole. After using them for almost a week, there's still no improvement. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, candidiasis (yeast infection) is caused by the infection of Candida. You can use baking soda for cleaning. If clotrimazole doesn't work, it is recommended to switch to miconazole vaginal suppositories and take fluconazole orally to observe its effectiveness.The occurrence of candidiasis not only affects the patient's body but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a vaginal discharge test to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
