Patient's question:
Symptom Description: Itchy vagina on the 6th day of menstruation. The doctor examined and said it was a fungal infection. Treatment history and effectiveness: Already used one dose of clotrimazole vaginal tablets, followed by 12 oral tablets of nitrofurantoin after 4 days, and then another 4 days. Desired help: Please answer 1: Will nitrofurantoin affect liver function? (Because my liver function is not good) 2: After taking the medicine well, the check the next day showed it was better. Do I still need to use "nitrofurantoin - nystatin vaginal"? 3: Can I have sex now?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to keeping the private area clean and hygienic. Wash frequently and change underwear often. Sun the bedding regularly. Underwear should be exposed to sunlight for drying. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and reduce sugar intake. Do not take broad-spectrum antibiotics or hormones. You can use sodium bicarbonate powder to wash the private area. You can apply Daktar cream locally. You can use vaginal medication Nystatin tablets for treatment. Vaginal medication Nystatin is very effective, better than oral medication. Oral Nystatin tablets can cause significant stomach irritation, so it is best not to take them orally. You can take fluconazole orally for treatment. If you have a sexual partner, both should be treated to prevent recurrence.
