Patient's question:
TrichomoniasisDoctor's answer:
The characteristics of candidal vulvovaginitis are recurrent episodes, particularly more pronounced before and after menstruation. The first step in treating recurrent candidal vulvovaginitis is to eliminate the underlying causes that lead to repeated vaginal candidal infections, such as cross-infection between partners and consuming high-sugar foods.Recommendations: Extend the treatment duration and use multiple treatment methods simultaneously. Local treatment can begin with steaming and soaking with traditional Chinese herbal medicine, followed by rinsing the vagina with baking soda water. Then, apply medication vaginally, such as Daktar or clotrimazole vaginal tablets, and externally apply clotrimazole cream. Local treatment can be performed throughout the menstrual cycle, with medication discontinued during menstruation and continuing after the period ends.
Oral fluconazole is also recommended. It is advised to visit a formal specialized hospital for diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of a physician.
