Patient's question:
Hello!Can baking soda (edible baking soda) be used to clean the lower body to control vaginal candidiasis instead of the so-called baking soda?
Thank you!! First follow-up question: The packaging states "edible baking soda," can it replace the baking soda mentioned by everyone to clean the lower body and control fungal infections? Also, can baking soda be used to rinse the vagina? Thank you! :)
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended that you use imidazole creams such as Daktarin cream or clotrimazole cream for treatment, followed by rinsing with baking soda water. The effect is still quite good. What needs to be noted is that medication should be persistent and not stopped intermittently. After completing the medication, you must have three consecutive negative test results to be considered cured. During treatment, sexual activity must be avoided, and spicy foods should also be avoided in your diet.
