Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to ask, I use nystatin effervescent tablets to insert into the vagina at night, and apply compound copper clotrimazole ointment to the vulva, and take nystatin tablets orally. Is this harmful to the body?Follow-up question: Last weekend, I had a vaginal discharge test, and the doctor said the inflammation was quite severe, but no yeast or trichomonas was found. He prescribed Emikang for vaginal use, which I have been using for a few days, but it hasn’t worked at all and has even worsened. I thought about how I’ve had recurrent vaginal candidiasis in the past, so I used nystatin effervescent tablets for a few nights, and the symptoms improved a lot. I want to treat it thoroughly so it doesn’t recur again, but my vulva still sometimes...
Doctor's answer:
During treatment, avoid sexual intercourse. Change and wash underwear daily, and boil them for disinfection. After one course of treatment, if the fungus test is negative, follow-up tests should also be negative after each menstrual cycle. Continuous consolidation treatment for three more courses is required to be considered cured. It is best if the male partner is also treated simultaneously. Wash shoes and socks separately from underwear. It is recommended to use condoms during intercourse. Otherwise, it is easy to relapse. The reasons for relapse are usually incomplete treatment and reinfection from the sexual partner.
