Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! Today during the leukorrhea test, I was actually found to have "mold," and I'm very frustrated. However, the doctor said it's not a big problem. Is it common for many women to have this condition?! The doctor advised me to pay attention to personal hygiene and also to undergo treatment with my husband. Please, is this condition easy to cure, and what should I be careful about? If I plan to have a medication-induced abortion in the next few days, can it be done simultaneously?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Hello: If diagnosed with candidal vulvovaginitis, a 2%--4% soda solution can be used to rinse the external genitalia and vagina daily or for sitz baths, with a 10-day course to alter the pH and create conditions unfavorable for the survival of Candida. Then, Nystatin can be used, such as powder, tablets, suppositories, or ointments, inserted into the vagina or applied locally, with a dose of 10--20 million units each time, once nightly, for a 10--14-day course. The external genitalia can also be treated with 3% miconazole ointment for better results. Since this condition is stubborn and prone to recurrence, local treatment is generally preferred. Oral Nystatin tablets can also be taken, with a dose of 50--100 million units, three times daily, for a 7--10-day course, followed by a follow-up to confirm three negative results before considering it cured.Treatment can be resumed after medication-induced abortion and physical recovery, along with safe sex practices and the use of condoms to prevent cross-infection.
