How to best relieve candidal vulvovaginitis

Patient's question:

I went for a gynecological examination. She said no infection was found at the vaginal opening. The leukorrhea test also showed negative results. Why could it be candidiasis then? She diagnosed it based on her experience!
She prescribed me a lifestyle wash!
Is it more effective to insert the liquid into the vagina or to wash directly in a basin?
Does it disrupt the pH balance of the vagina?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, for candidal vulvitis, you should clean the external genital area with a 2%-4% baking soda solution, then insert one Sedacorin suppository every night for a 7-day course of treatment. After your next menstrual period, repeat the course after three days of the period ending. During the day, wear pure cotton underwear, and wash the underwear with boiling water, then expose it to sunlight for drying. Additionally, start medication after each menstrual period ends, using it continuously for 7 days per course. After your next menstrual period ends, get a routine vaginal discharge test. Continue treatment until the test results show three consecutive negative results for vaginal discharge, which is considered cured, and then you can stop medication.
