Patient's question:
Previously, it was found that symptoms recurred repeatedly during the premenstrual period. After the menstruation ends each month, Daktarin and baking soda are used for 7 days. This has been done for four months. Last month, Nystatin was added for 4 days, and this month, there are signs of recurrence again during work. Is it better to use one course per month and continue for several months to consolidate, or should two courses be used each month? How should my husband take the medication and what dosage? Should we refrain from sexual intercourse for the months of treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Candidal vulvovaginitis is prone to recurring and can be cross-infected between partners. If there is a sexual partner, both should be treated simultaneously. Men can use Daktarin cream or Lamisil cream externally, while women can use Daktarin cream or Lamisil cream externally, along with Kaninjin suppositories. Note: After symptoms disappear, additional medication should be taken for seven more days. Both partners should take fluconazole 0.15 grams in a single dose to eliminate hidden yeast in the genital area. This medication may affect liver enzymes, so those with abnormal liver function should use it with caution. Thank you for your support of Hangzhou Ren De Hospital!
