Patient's question:
Doctor: Hello! Today I went to the hospital for a check-up and found that my vaginal discharge test was positive for Candida. The doctor prescribed two courses of Western medicine and some topical treatments: Funkening ointment, Kuiyaoшу wash solution, and a pack of sodium bicarbonate. Because there were too many people at the time, the doctor didn't explain very clearly. Could you please tell me which medicine I should use to rinse and which one my husband should use? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis, caused by infection with the pathogen Candida albicans, is more common in women who use hormones or antibiotics long-term, diabetics, and pregnant women. The main transmission routes are sexual intercourse, swimming pools, towels, etc. The main symptoms are cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and external genital itching. Oral fluconazole 150mg, vaginal medication Kefin, or nystatin vaginal suppositories can be used for treatment. During treatment, avoid sexual activity, change underwear frequently, and use boiling water to sterilize hygiene products.
