Patient's question:
Currently, in general situations: The leukorrhea is like cottage cheese, the doctor said it's candidal vaginitis. Can it be completely cured? What should I do? Urgent, urgent, urgent!!!!!!Doctor's answer:
Hello: Treatment for candidal vulvovaginitis can be achieved through either purely Western medicine or a combination of Chinese and Western medicine.(1) General treatment: Actively treat other diseases that can cause candidal vulvovaginitis and eliminate predisposing factors. Maintain external genital hygiene and dryness, and avoid scratching. Abstain from sexual activity during treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
(2) Changing vaginal pH: The optimal pH for Candida growth is 5.5. Therefore, using alkaline solutions to rinse the external genitalia and vagina to alter the vaginal pH can inhibit the growth and reproduction of Candida. A 2%–4% baking soda solution can be used to rinse the vagina once or twice daily, with 2 weeks constituting one course. After rinsing, dry the external genitalia to maintain dryness and inhibit the growth of Candida.
(3) Vaginal medication: Using imidazole ointments for vaginal medication is highly effective for candidal vulvovaginitis. Clotrimazole ointment: Administer one suppository nightly into the vagina after rinsing, with 10–14 days constituting one course. Alternatively, Daktar ointment: Administer one suppository nightly after rinsing, with 7 days constituting one course.
(4) External ointments: Applying clotrimazole ointment or Daktar ointment externally can treat vulvitis caused by Candida infection and alleviate symptoms of external genital itching and pain. Apply externally several times daily for 2 weeks. Eucerin ointment, which contains econazole as the main active ingredient and a small amount of topical steroid, provides excellent anti-itch effects and is particularly suitable for those with severe itching from candidal vulvovaginitis. Apply externally twice daily.
(5) Oral medication: Since Candida infection can be transmitted sexually
