Patient's question:
This symptom has lasted for over a week, and it has never occurred before. I feel uneasy. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is considered to be related to candidiasis. Candidiasis can be treated by washing the external genitalia with baking soda solution, using nystatin vaginal suppositories, and taking oral itraconazole and ketoconazole. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and underwear should be changed, washed daily, and boiled for disinfection. After one course of treatment, a negative result for candidiasis should be obtained. Subsequent follow-up tests for candidiasis should also be negative after each menstrual cycle. Continuous consolidation treatment for three more courses is required to be considered cured. It is best for the male partner to be treated concurrently as well, taking nystatin tablets for one week. Shoes and socks should be washed separately from underwear. Otherwise, it is easy to relapse. The reasons for relapse are generally incomplete treatment and reinfection from the sexual partner.
