Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I have some vaginitis, slight itching in the vulva, and slightly enlarged uterus. I have sexual activity. Is it related to my boyfriend's long foreskin and my symptoms? Why? Thank you!Onset and duration of the current illness: Occasionally itchy, no other symptoms.
Current general condition: Occasionally itchy, no other symptoms.
Medical history: None.
Previous diagnoses and treatment history and effectiveness: Used feminine wash.
Ancillary tests: None.
Other: None.
Doctor's answer:
1. General treatment: Actively treat other diseases that can cause vaginitis and eliminate susceptible factors. Keep the external genitalia clean and dry, and avoid scratching. Sexual activity is prohibited during treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.Herbal medicine treatment: Use Chinese herbal medicines with heat-clearing, detoxifying, insecticidal, and anti-itching effects to decoct water for fomenting and washing the external genitalia. This can not only alleviate symptoms but also inhibit and eliminate Candida.
3. Vaginal medication: Use imidazole suppositories for vaginal medication, which has a good therapeutic effect on candidal vaginitis.
4. Oral medication: Since Candida infection can be transmitted between couples through sexual activity, oral medication can be used to treat both parties. Oral medications can also inhibit intestinal Candida. For example, fluconazole.
