Patient's question:

Which is more effective for gynecological inflammation, Levofloxacin or Metronidazole?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your condition is considered to be related to candidiasis. Candidiasis can be treated with baking soda water for external genital cleaning, nystatin vaginal suppositories, and oral itraconazole and ketoconazole. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and underwear should be changed, washed, and boiled daily. After one course of treatment, a negative result for candidiasis should be obtained. Subsequent follow-up tests for candidiasis should also be negative after each menstrual cycle. Continuous consolidation treatment for three more courses is required to be considered cured. It is best for the male partner to also be treated simultaneously, taking nystatin tablets for one week. Shoes and socks should be washed separately from underwear. Otherwise, it is easy to relapse. The reasons for relapse are generally incomplete treatment and reinfection from the sexual partner.
