Patient's question:
Hello, I have candidal vaginitis. After taking medication for two weeks, my leukorrhea has returned to normal. Should I continue taking medication? How should I take it?Should I have sexual intercourse?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: If you feel better, you can stop medication under the guidance of a clinical doctor, but it is still important to pay attention to genital hygiene. During this period, as your body has not yet fully recovered, it is best to avoid sexual activity. Local treatment can involve first using traditional Chinese herbal medicine to steam and bathe, followed by rinsing the vagina with baking soda water. Then, medication can be applied to the vagina (Daktar or clotrimazole vaginal tablets), and clotrimazole ointment can be applied externally. Local treatment can be continued throughout the menstrual cycle, with vaginal medication stopped during menstruation and treatment resumed after the period ends. Oral fluconazole is recommended. It is advisable to visit a regular specialized hospital for diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
