Doctor's answer:
Hello, unmarried girls who contract candidal vulvovaginitis should neither panic nor feel ashamed. They should seek medical treatment. According to current medical standards, this condition is completely curable.During treatment, a 3% sodium bicarbonate solution is used to rinse the external genital area. Then, a rubber catheter is inserted into the hymen opening, and the solution is poured into the catheter for vaginal irrigation. After rinsing, the external genital area is dried, and 250,000 to 500,000 units of nystatin tablets are inserted deep into the vagina. Additionally, nystatin cream is applied to the external genital area, once daily, for 10 to 14 days. If necessary, another course of treatment may be administered.
At the same time, diabetes and athlete's foot should be actively treated. The duration of antibiotic treatment for chronic urinary tract infections and bronchitis should be minimized. The patient's towels, foot towels, and foot basins should be used exclusively. Showering should replace bath use. The patient's clothing should be placed and washed separately. Tight nylon pants, synthetic fabric underwear, and pantyhose should be avoided.
Particular attention should be paid to the fact that mold has strong resistance to sunlight and ultraviolet rays. Therefore, cotton underwear and other clothing must be boiled to kill the mold and prevent re-infection with candidal vulvovaginitis.
