How long does it take for a vaginal infection medication to work?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower abdomen, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How long does it take for vaginal yeast infection medication to work?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, medication is generally required for 4-8 weeks. Please check your vaginal discharge to determine the type of vaginitis. Both partners should be treated, and it will gradually improve. Wishing you good health.
Hello, according to your description, you are experiencing preterm labor. Normally, at around 6 weeks of pregnancy, the embryo can be seen, at around 7 weeks, the heartbeat can be detected, and by 8 weeks, the embryo should begin to take on a human shape. Therefore, based on your missed period and ultrasound results, the embryo's development appears poor, and it is recommended to consider preserving the pregnancy. Avoid excessive anxiety, rest in bed, and follow the doctor's guidance for preserving the pregnancy. If vaginal bleeding increases or abdominal pain becomes severe, there may be a risk of spontaneous abortion.
