Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Generally, it is not necessary. Use alkaline solutions such as 2-4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to rinse the external genitalia and vagina, altering the vaginal pH to make it unfavorable for mold growth. After rinsing, insert Nystatin tablets or suppositories into the vagina, with a dosage of 100,000-200,000 units each time, once nightly, for a course of 10-14 days. Apply 3% miconazole cream to the external genitalia afterward for better results. For persistent cases, oral itraconazole or clotrimazole can be taken to eliminate intestinal Candida, or miconazole can be used externally. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and clean, disinfected underwear should be changed daily. A follow-up examination should be conducted after the menstrual period.
