Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect fertility. I also feel extremely cold and fear the cold.How long does it take to treat candidiasis (yeast infection)?
Doctor's answer:
Hello! Candida vaginitis is a common gynecological disease, often occurring in women of childbearing age. Its main symptoms include an increase in thin, frothy vaginal discharge and external genital itching, which may be accompanied by a burning sensation, pain, and dyspareunia. If accompanied by urinary tract infection, symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, dysuria, or hematuria may occur. It is recommended to pay attention to hygiene during sexual activity and to treat both partners simultaneously! Nystatin and metronidazole are the first-line drugs for treating candidal vaginitis and are very affordable. Combined with liquid rinsing, the male partner should also take medication and undergo cleaning. Men can take nitrofurantoin. If the candidal vaginitis recurs frequently, traditional Chinese medicine such as Li Baonian Funjindan, combined with Compound Shenbai Liquid, can be considered. Generally, continuous use for three courses can help prevent recurrence.
