Patient's question:
I have had appendicitis in the past, which improved after treatment. Later, without knowing, I became pregnant and had a natural miscarriage during sexual intercourse. After the miscarriage, I received anti-inflammatory injections. A week later, I returned to normal. Six months later, I decided to try to get pregnant again, but after three months of effort, I still couldn’t conceive. Along with abnormal vaginal discharge and a foul odor during intercourse, my menstrual symptoms became worse. Therefore, I took Amoxicillin capsules during each menstrual period, and it helped improve the condition. However, it returned after a while!Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the recurring gynecological conditions with excessive, thick, and foul-smelling discharge are common symptoms of candidiasis. Currently, it is primarily considered that you have recurrent candidiasis, which is mainly related to the fact that you have not received proper antifungal treatment. You need to visit a hospital for a vaginal discharge test to identify the causative pathogen before selecting a sensitive antibiotic for treatment based on the bacteria. If you have recurrent candidiasis, a vaginal microbiota replacement procedure can be considered for treatment.It is recommended that you do not worry too much and stay calm. If it is confirmed that you have vaginitis, you will need to undergo antibiotic treatment to eliminate the infection. During the antibiotic treatment, it is important to regularly follow up with vaginal discharge tests. Generally, it is necessary to complete 3-4 courses of medication to completely cure candidiasis. Therefore, if the vaginal discharge tests show that the pathogens have turned negative during this period, you must not stop taking the medication, as this will lead to recurrence. Once recurrence occurs, it will be more difficult to cure.
At the same time, you should increase your protein intake, such as eggs and fish, to enhance your immunity. Additionally, you can eat more fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins.
