Patient's question:
Diagnosed with candidal vaginitis and used Daktarin suppositories. On the first day of use, I still felt a bit of pain when applying the medication. The second day was also the second day when I felt some lower abdominal pain. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you switch to nystatin suppositories, rinse with sodium bicarbonate solution, and take fluconazole orally at the same time. During treatment, avoid sexual activity. Your sexual partner should also take fluconazole. Change underwear and pants daily, wash them separately from other clothes, and expose them to sunlight. Continue treatment for 14 days. After your next menstrual period, have a vaginal discharge test reviewed. If it is normal, you can stop treatment. The occurrence of vaginitis not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of a hospital for a vaginal discharge test. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
