Patient's question:
Please experts, I may have fungal vaginitis. Is there any good treatment method? It has been more than a year. I previously had a cat and got infected with a fungus, so I suspect I may have been infected as well. The external itching has also been going on for a year. I have visited the gynecology hospital several times, but the medications prescribed have been ineffective. All necessary tests have been conducted. What should I do?First follow-up question: The first two tests were conducted while I was pregnant, so only medications with no effect on the fetus were used, but they were ineffective. Now I have had a miscarriage. I want to be completely cured of it. Please give me some good advice! Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, vaginal fungal infection is also known as candidal vaginitis. Its main symptoms include itching of the external genitalia, increased vaginal discharge with an odor, and changes in color, usually yellow or yellowish-green. At times, it can also affect the quality of sexual life, accompanied by symptoms such as vaginal pain during intercourse. It will not heal on its own without treatment. The patient's vaginal pH balance is disrupted, so local application of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) washes can be used to clean the affected areas of the body. This can effectively improve symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge and itching of the external genitalia. TCM washes can be used for patients to alleviate symptoms effectively, with good therapeutic outcomes and can also effectively prevent drug resistance.
