Patient's question:
Doctor,Thank you for your help. I would like to ask you a few questions.
I had a medication abortion on October 14th. Two weeks later, I stopped bleeding. At the time, I misunderstood the doctor's instructions and had sex with my husband. After that, I started bleeding again. I went for a check-up, and the doctor said there was no infection. My period has also returned to normal. However, now I have noticed some abnormalities in my discharge—it's watery and has a slight odor. Is it possible that I have an infection? I am very worried!!!!
Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is very stubborn and prone to recurrence. Treatment should be standardized and cover the entire course. Both partners need to be treated, and condoms should be used during sexual activity to prevent cross-infection. Then, after menstruation ends, go to the hospital for a gynecological examination and a microscopic examination of vaginal secretions. If the results are negative, it indicates recent recovery. During treatment, avoid sexual activity, as it may prolong the duration of the illness. Sexual partners should also be treated simultaneously, otherwise the fungus will keep passing between the two, making it impossible to cure.
