Patient's question:
After my period, I feel itchy in my vagina. There's white, curd-like discharge down there. I used cotton swabs to wipe it all away and then washed with Fuyanjie gel. There's no white discharge anymore, but it's still itchy. The doctor at the hospital prescribed metronidazole vaginal suppositories. I've been using them for six days, but it's still itchy. I also have some urinary frequency and discomfort. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Common medications used to treat candidiasis include: Nystatin tablets or Miconazole vaginal suppositories or tablets, Clotrimazole tablets (Ketoconazole tablets), Miconazole nitrate vaginal suppositories (Daktar vaginal suppositories), all of which can be inserted vaginally under the guidance of a physician. External creams include Clotrimazole cream, Daktar cream, which should be applied to the external genital area daily. It is also important to avoid sexual activity, refrain from spicy and irritating foods, and maintain cleanliness of the external genital area. When applying medication to the vagina, be gentle to avoid stimulating the cervix.
