Patient's question:
Medical Description: In the hospital, I was diagnosed with mild candidiasis vaginitis. Treatment history and effectiveness: Used nystatin suppositories for three days, stopped medication during menstruation. Desired help: Currently continuing for seven days, one course. Do the first three days count?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for candidiasis, an alkaline solution such as 2-4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water should be used to rinse the external genitalia and vagina, altering the vaginal pH. After rinsing, insert nystatin tablets or suppositories into the vagina, and apply 3% miconazole ointment to the external genitalia for better results. For stubborn cases, oral ketoconazole or clotrimazole can be taken to eliminate intestinal candidiasis, or miconazole can be used externally. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and underwear should be changed, washed, and boiled daily for disinfection.Candidiasis is one of the most common types of vaginitis. The main symptoms of candidiasis include increased vaginal discharge and itching of the external genitalia, often accompanied by a local burning sensation. The typical vaginal discharge appears as curd-like (cheese-like) or slightly yellowish, with a faint odor, tightly adhering to the vaginal mucosa.
