After getting an IUD, how to handle candidal vulvovaginitis

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower abdomen, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? If I get an IUD and then develop a fungal vaginal infection, how should I handle it?

Doctor's answer:

You can use baking soda water to clean the external genitalia, and use nystatin vaginal suppositories for treatment. Oral administration of ketoconazole and clotrimazole is also recommended. During treatment, sexual intercourse is prohibited, and underwear should be changed, washed, and boiled daily for disinfection. After one course of treatment, a negative result for mold should be obtained. Subsequently, mold should be checked again after each menstrual cycle and remain negative. Continuous consolidation treatment for three more courses is required to be considered cured. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a gynecological examination to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
