Patient's question:
Patient Gender:Female
Detailed Condition and Purpose of Consultation: I have a vaginal odor. I heard from a doctor that using potassium permanganate for cleaning can help lighten it, which is true. But I'm still not, because when potassium permanganate is added to boiling water, the color is very heavy. Will it cause any harm?
Current General Condition: There is still an odor.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, for candidiasis, you can use clotrimazole suppositories and insert them into the vagina. First, rinse the vagina with a 2% baking soda solution, and it will improve. Use a condom during sex, and soak your underwear in boiling water.If there is no significant improvement after medication, it is recommended that you undergo a routine vaginal discharge test, a urinalysis, and a blood test to identify the causative pathogen. Then, receive targeted antibacterial treatment. Please do not use medication on your own to avoid ineffective treatment. Although Jie'er Yin can alleviate symptoms, it cannot eliminate the root cause and may lead to recurrence. You need to have a routine vaginal discharge test, and medication should be based on the results. Use suppositories and local topical medication!
