Patient's question:
[Condition Description: It has been a week, with itching in the external genital area, increased vaginal discharge, and redness/swelling of the vulva. Previous treatment and effectiveness: I went to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test; the report showed Trichomonas 1-1, Candida 1+1. Leukocytes (I don't know what this means, it's a grass radical), vaginal cleanliness degree 3, hydrogen peroxide concentration 1-1, sialidase 1-1, and leukocyte esterase 1+1. The doctor prescribed a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, but I didn't take it. Later, my friend bought boric powder and (kushen) from a pharmacy, and I also used Jie'eryin. However, after three or four more days, the itching still persisted, though the vulva was no longer red or swollen. Should I switch to other medications or what? Is this condition easy to treat? Is it serious? Thank you. Desired help:]Doctor's answer:
Hello, candidal vaginitis requires a regular course of medication use and joint treatment for couples. In terms of gynecological inflammatory medication, patients can use Huahong Pian combined with Huahong Jinsong Pruritus Wash externally. Huahong Pian can alleviate symptoms such as lower back and sacral pain, lower abdominal fullness, and abnormal vaginal discharge caused by gynecological inflammation, and it has a good effect on treating chronic pelvic inflammation, adnexitis, and vaginitis. Alternatively, you can use Xiaomi for one week for vaginal medication, as well as use sodium bicarbonate tablets and nystatin to clean the external genitalia.
