What should I do if there is no effect after treating candidal vaginitis for a week?

Patient's question:

Initially, I thought I had trichomoniasis, so I took Fuyankang tablets. Later, I went to the hospital for a check-up!
What kind of help do I need: I want to ask the doctor whether, in my case, I should continue taking the above medication or take other medications? I feel like it's not getting better.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, candidiasis is caused by a fungal infection. It is recommended to use Daktarin suppositories for treatment and maintain a light diet, while consuming more high-sugar foods. Candidiasis is quite stubborn and prone to recurrence. You can use sodium bicarbonate solution to clean the perineum and insert Daktarin suppositories into the vagina.
This is something you can discuss with a gynecologist for a check-up, including a secretion test, to determine the specific condition. Then, targeted treatment can be administered. Three follow-up tests for vaginal discharge are needed; if it completely clears up, the treatment is considered successful. For external itching, you can apply Furex ointment to relieve the itching. Avoid spicy and irritating foods! Washed clothes should be exposed to sunlight before wearing!
