Patient's question:
AgeDetailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I had mold infection in June this year and recovered significantly after treatment. However, in recent months, I've been experiencing itching and pain in the lower abdomen during ovulation. I don't know whether it's because the mold infection wasn't treated thoroughly or for some other reason. Previously, the symptoms were better during ovulation, but now I'm unsure whether I should see a doctor or what. Please provide an expert's reply. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to use nystatin suppositories for a full course of treatment. During the ovulation period, there may be an increase in leukorrhea, which may be related to the stimulation of the vaginal area. During the ovulation period, pay attention to hygiene of the vaginal area, maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, and use a gynecological wash to see if it improves. In daily life, maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia. Avoid scratching, hot water bathing, and using soap. When there is an infection, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable and loose-fitting. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods.
