Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, the most commonly used medication for candidal vulvovaginitis is Daktarin (clotrimazole) suppositories, but suppositories are more effective. It is recommended that you combine vaginal medication with external medication and a cleansing solution for treatment. It is advised that you avoid sexual activity during treatment, pay close attention to local hygiene, consume less sugar, treat athlete's foot if you have it, change your underwear frequently, and opt for pure cotton underwear that is loose and breathable, avoiding the use of sanitary pads. General treatment: Actively treat other diseases that can cause candidal vulvovaginitis and eliminate predisposing factors. Maintain clean and dry external genital hygiene, and avoid scratching. Sexual activity is prohibited during treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
