Patient's question:
Medical Description: Four days after menstruation, I went to the hospital for a check-up and found one plus sign for mold.History of Treatment and Effect: I used Miconazole. After applying the medication at night, I noticed it coming out in waves with water in the morning, accompanied by mild burning sensation.
Help Needed: I want to ask if this is normal. I have been on medication for 7 days and feel uncomfortable, but when I went to the hospital, there were no signs of redness, swelling, or allergic reactions. However, after using the medication, I still feel uneasy?
Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, you have a fungal infection called candidiasis, which is an inflammatory infection caused by a fungus called Candida. It is common to experience increased vaginal discharge, a bad odor, and a cottage cheese-like appearance.Advice: 1. For candidiasis, antifungal medication is generally the preferred treatment. Your medication is appropriate. Miconazole is a vaginal suppository containing nystatin. This medication may cause slight irritation to the vaginal mucosa, and a mild burning sensation is a normal side effect of the drug. It's okay. It is recommended to complete the full course of treatment. If you experience significant discomfort, you can switch to other antifungal medications, such as Daktarin suppositories or Clotrimazole suppositories, which can be inserted into the vagina for use. Generally, medication should be started three days after the menstrual period and used for one day.
