Patient's question:
Medical Description: In the hospital, I was diagnosed with mild candidiasis vaginitis. Treatment history and effectiveness: Used nystatin suppositories for three days and stopped during the menstrual period. Desired help: Now continuing for seven days for a course of treatment. Do the first three days count?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for candidal vaginitis, an alkaline solution such as 2-4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water should be used to rinse the external genitalia and vagina to alter the vaginal pH. After rinsing, insert nystatin tablets or suppositories into the vagina, and then apply 3% miconazole cream to the external genitalia for better results. For stubborn cases, oral ketoconazole or miconazole can be taken to eliminate intestinal candidiasis, or miconazole can be used topically. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and underwear should be changed and boiled daily for disinfection.Candidal vaginitis is one of the common types of vaginitis. The main symptoms of candidal vaginitis are increased vaginal discharge and itching of the external genitalia, often accompanied by a local burning sensation. The typical vaginal discharge appears as curd-like (cheese-like) or slightly yellowish, slightly foul-smelling patches, tightly adhering to the vaginal mucosa.
