Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I was diagnosed with candidiasis (yeast infection) today, and the doctor prescribed Nistatine vaginal cream for me. However, when using the medication, I experience intense pain and a burning sensation. Can I continue using it? Is it an allergic reaction? I have researched online and found that there are many types of vaginal infections. Could you please explain the differences between them? For example, what is the difference between trichomoniasis and candidiasis? I am very urgent because this is my first time experiencing this condition.Doctor's answer:
Currently, the treatment of candidal vulvovaginitis primarily involves vaginal medication. However, candidal vulvovaginitis in women tends to recur easily and is contagious, so both partners need to be treated. The male partner can use diluted potassium permanganate solution or baking soda solution for cleaning and apply antifungal medications, such as fluconazole. Additionally, women can use Li Baimian Funjingsan, which has a strong enzymatic effect on breaking down mold.Furthermore, Li Baimian Funjingsan's unique internal vaginal care factor can balance the pH of the vaginal environment within a short period, promote the rapid reproduction of beneficial bacteria like lactobacilli, restore the self-cleaning function of the vagina, and fundamentally prevent the recurrence of candidal vulvovaginitis from an immunological perspective.
Finally, both partners should pay attention to the cleanliness of the perineal area and change underwear frequently.
