Patient's question:
Onset time: Over a month. Main symptoms: Local itching of the vulva.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Based on your description, it seems like candidiasis (yeast infection), which is caused by fungal infection. The curd-like discharge is quite typical.Recommendations: It is best to use topical medication, as oral antifungal drugs can have significant effects on the liver and other organs. I suggest:
1. Using an antifungal suppository or cream, such as Daktarin suppository or cream.
2. Using the medication continuously and follow up before or after your next menstrual period, as that time is prone to recurrence.
3. Avoid sexual activity during treatment, as it may lead to cross-infection.
4. Keep the external genital area dry or clean it with a baking soda solution. An alkaline environment can inhibit the growth of Candida.
5. Check if you have fungal infections in other parts of your body, such as onychomycosis (toenail fungus) or tinea pedis (athlete's foot). These could also be sources of transmission for candidiasis and need to be treated simultaneously.
