Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Can using warm salt water to clean the external genitalia prevent candidiasis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal candidiasis should be treated with alkaline douches, trichomoniasis with acidic douches, and bacterial vaginosis with neutral douches. Based on your description, it might be trichomoniasis. It is recommended to seek medical attention for a routine vaginal discharge test to confirm the diagnosis before starting treatment.Your condition may be caused by blood and qi deficiency, leading to a decrease in menstrual flow. It is suggested to use Shiquan Dabu Ointment for treatment. Additionally, you should consume more blood-nourishing foods in your diet, such as pork liver and spinach.
