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 yeast infections, such as cross-infection between partners and consuming high-sugar foods.Recommendations: Extend the treatment duration and use multiple 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 to the vagina, such as Daktarin or clotrimazole vaginal tablets, and apply clotrimazole cream externally. Local treatment can be performed throughout the menstrual cycle, with medication stopped during menstruation and continuing after the period ends. Oral fluconazole is also recommended. It is advised to consult a specialized hospital for proper diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
