Patient's question:
Can Douyinjie treat candidal vaginitis? Can Douyinjie be used to wipe the inside of the vagina? Does it affect the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for the health of the mother and child, pregnant women diagnosed with candidal vaginitis should actively seek treatment. The treatment must be thorough and should not be stopped automatically once symptoms subside. The treatment method is as follows:For pregnancy within 12 weeks, a 2%-3% soda solution or Jieryin can be used to clean the external genitalia and vagina. At the same time, underwear should be changed daily and washed together with towels and basins.
After pregnancy exceeds 12 weeks, after cleaning as described above, gently dry the external genitalia and place a nystatin suppository, miconazole, or clotrimazole suppository into the deep vagina, to be used every night before bed. If vulvitis is present, Daktarin cream can be applied to the external genitalia.
Generally, a course of treatment lasts 10-14 days. After stopping medication for 7 days, a follow-up examination should be conducted. Once symptoms disappear for 2 weeks, a third examination for candidiasis should be performed. Treatment can only be completed upon full recovery.
After 35 weeks of pregnancy, to avoid intrauterine infection, vaginal procedures should not be performed.
