Patient's question:
Medical Description: Due to objective reasons, my girlfriend and I only engage in intimate activities (staying in hotels) during long holidays. Before each activity, we thoroughly clean everything, but why does she keep getting infections? The last time, it might have been a fungal infection with curd-like discharge. Also, every time she says it hurts. Is it because we do it too infrequently (around 10 times), or is the pain due to inflammation? It's less common for her to have a smell.History of Treatment and Effect: The last treatment wasn't fully effective, as yellow stains appeared on her underwear again.
Help Needed: I would like your guidance. How can we avoid infections?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it is analyzed that you have candidiasis. Use a 2% baking soda solution to clean the external genitalia and vagina, insert nystatin suppositories, and apply clotrimazole cream if there is itching in the external genitalia. Hello, the male partner should also be treated by applying clotrimazole cream. Keep the external genitalia clean and dry, and wash underwear with boiling water. It is recommended to use an alkaline solution such as sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to rinse the external genitalia and vagina. After rinsing, insert nystatin tablets or suppositories into the vagina, and then apply clotrimazole cream to the external genitalia.
