Patient's question:
After my period, I've been experiencing some itching in my vagina. I thought it was due to poor ventilation from the sanitary pad. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was a yeast infection in the vagina. They gave me potassium permanganate to wash with and medication to insert into the vagina. I'd like to ask: Is a yeast infection serious? Is it easy to recur? I've heard that trichomoniasis and fungal vaginitis are difficult to cure and prone to recurrence. I'm very scared. Please tell me if this is serious.Doctor's answer:
Athrax infection can be treated with oral metronidazole and tinidazole.
