Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. May I ask if it's okay to stop taking medication for candidiasis of the vagina once the itching has subsided?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis should be treated by both partners. Continuous treatment for three menstrual cycles is required. Normal vaginal discharge should be checked three times before and after menstruation to confirm cure. Underwear, bed sheets, and other items should be exposed to sunlight and boiled for disinfection to prevent recurrence. A 2% to 4% baking soda solution can be used to rinse the vagina once or twice daily, with two weeks constituting one course of treatment. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's lives but can also lead to further gynecological issues. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a vaginal discharge test to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Daily water intake should be increased, and personal hygiene should be maintained.
