Patient's question:
My girlfriend has been experiencing pain and itching in her vagina recently, lasting for about several months! When she went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said her discharge was normal and there were no major issues, just excessive secretions. They diagnosed it as candidiasis (yeast infection). The doctor prescribed topical and oral medications. I would like to consult your opinion? And how long will it take to heal? The doctor said they couldn't diagnose any specific problem, just wrote "vaginitis" in the medical record. Is that reliable? I want to ask if this condition is treatable?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis, prone to recurrence, requires treatment according to a prescribed course. All cases of candidal vulvovaginitis should involve both partners in treatment.Women can use the vaginal ozone antibacterial agent Ousann to treat this condition, which is particularly effective for various vaginal inflammations caused by fungi. Use it in moderation 3 days before menstruation and 4 days after menstruation. Apply the liquid from the tube into the vagina, place a sanitary pad prepared in advance, and rest lying down for 10-20 minutes.
Men can apply the liquid from the tube in moderation onto a cotton ball prepared in advance and rub it onto the foreskin after their daily bath.
Note: Abstain from sexual activity during treatment and avoid spicy or irritating foods.
