Vaginal and external itching, discharge resembling white, how to treat?

Patient's question:

Hello, recently I have been experiencing itching both inside and outside the vagina, with white, curd-like discharge. What type of vaginitis does this belong to? What medication should I use? Can it be cured? I bought Daktarin suppositories, are they suitable for this condition?

Doctor's answer:

??????Hello! It is possible that you have a fungal vaginal infection due to itching in the genital area and the presence of white, curd-like discharge in the vagina. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test to confirm the diagnosis and start treatment.
If it is confirmed that you have a fungal vaginal infection, you can use a 2% to 4% baking soda solution to rinse the vagina under the guidance of a doctor, once or twice a day, with a 2-week course. After rinsing, dry the external genital area and keep it dry to inhibit the growth of Candida. After rinsing, you can insert nystatin tablets deep into the vagina, once a night, or apply Daktarin cream to the external genital area at the same time.
Pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, avoid sexual activity during treatment, and refrain from spicy, irritating foods and seafood.
