Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with fungal vaginitis. I have the following questions: Is this condition easy to treat? What medication is best to use? What are the main causes of this condition?Doctor's answer:
Hello: There is no problem as long as the treatment is active. For candidal vulvovaginitis, the first step is to eliminate the causes that lead to recurrent vaginal candidal infections, while extending the treatment period and using multiple treatment methods simultaneously. Local treatment can involve first using traditional Chinese herbal medicine for fumigation and sitz baths, followed by medication insertion into the vagina and applying antifungal ointment externally. Local treatment can be performed throughout the menstrual cycle, with medication cessation during menstruation and resuming treatment after the menstrual period ends. Oral itraconazole, 200 mg per dose, once daily after meals, for three consecutive days. Such treatment should be maintained for 1 to 2 months.
