Patient's question:
How come my vaginitis hasn't been cured after six months? The routine test of vaginal discharge shows bacterial, and the cervical TCT test shows fungal.Doctor's answer:
For the complete resolution of candidal vulvovaginitis, three points need to be noted: 1. Joint treatment for both partners, 2. Treatment according to the prescribed course, 3. Proper prevention.Treatment: Since Candida thrives in a weakly acidic environment, we use weakly alkaline solutions to rinse the vagina (any alkaline rinse solution produced by reputable manufacturers can be used). The most commonly used, cost-effective, and effective solution is a 5% sodium bicarbonate solution (sodium bicarbonate powder can be prepared for self-use). Using a dedicated vaginal (vaginal is a specialized device for rinsing the vagina) to thoroughly rinse the vagina, repeat the rinsing process to completely remove pathological leukorrhea. Then, insert a Daktarin suppository into the vagina and apply Clotrimazole cream or Daktarin cream evenly to the external genitalia. Continue treatment for one to two weeks. This approach can cure the majority of such patients.
