Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower abdomen, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I use sanitary pads during the medication for candidiasis?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is possible. Using clotrimazole ointment or terbinafine ointment externally can treat vulvitis caused by fungal infections and alleviate symptoms such as itching and pain in the vulva. Apply externally several times a day and use for 2 weeks. Eucerin ointment is primarily based on econazole. Your condition is likely caused by a bacterial infection, so it is best to take some anti-inflammatory and antibacterial medications orally. Pay attention to hygiene, and you can use erythromycin ointment externally. Additionally, underwear must be comfortable and breathable. It is best to expose them to sunlight frequently, wash them daily to maintain cleanliness, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
