Patient's question:
My wife has some vaginitis, what should I do for the treatment? What medicine should she take, thank you!!! UrgentDoctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to do a urine test to determine if there is an infection. It is necessary for both "couples" or male and female partners to be treated together. If the male has candidal balanitis, he can be prescribed a 3% sodium bicarbonate solution and a 3% clotrimazole ointment. He should clean the glans with the 3% sodium bicarbonate solution before bed, let it dry, and then apply the clotrimazole ointment once daily for a total of 10 days. If no lesions are found externally, he can be given fluconazole 0.15 grams as a single dose, which is sufficient to clear any hidden fungal infections in the genital area. This medication affects liver enzymes, so caution should be exercised in individuals with abnormal liver function.
