Patient's question:
Recurrent candidal vulvovaginitis for 1 year, with mild cervical erosion, leukocyte count 3. No trichomonas cells were found during the examination. All medications available at the hospital have been used, but the effect is not significant. Re-examination still shows positivity.Doctor's answer:
Hello, candidiasis (also known as vulvovaginal candidiasis) primarily presents with symptoms such as external genital itching, burning pain, cottage cheese-like discharge, or creamy, clumpy white discharge that significantly increases in amount. It is recommended to rinse the external genital area and vagina with an alkaline solution, such as a 2% to 4% sodium bicarbonate solution or soapy water, to alter the vaginal pH and make it less conducive to fungal growth. After rinsing, insert nystatin tablets or Daktarin suppositories into the vagina, and apply 3% miconazole cream or Prazosin cream to the external genital area for better results.
