Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have candidiasis of the vagina. I'm now using clotrimazole effervescent tablets and clotrimazole cream, which are working very well. I haven't taken any oral medication. But recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination and significant bladder irritation, though there's no pain when I urinate. I went back to the hospital for a urinalysis. The doctor was very busy and didn't have time to explain, so they just gave me levofloxacin and Sanjin tablets and sent me on my way. However, I didn't take the prescribed anti-inflammatory medication. I know that taking antibiotics for candidiasis can worsen the fungal infection. Here are the results from my urinalysis: white blood cells 3.7, red blood cells 14.4, epithelial cells 15.8, casts 5.4, bacteria 8.0, yeast 0, negative for protein, negative for glucose, and the rest are normal. OnlyDoctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, vulvitis is a relatively common type of gynecological inflammation in women. Once a woman suffers from vulvitis, she will experience symptoms such as vulvar itching. Due to the difficulty in discussing it openly, treatment may be delayed. Fungal vulvitis is inflammation caused by a fungal infection and is a common gynecological disease in women, posing many harms to women.Recommendations: It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine, such as Compound Shenbai Wash and Li Baonian Women's Purifying Pill, for combined treatment. During acute episodes, take two pills each time. After leukorrhea returns to normal, reduce the dosage to one pill per day, directly placing it into the vagina and covering it with a pad. Generally, three treatment courses can lead to recovery! Avoid using disinfectants or (bactericidal agents) for cleaning to prevent skin irritation; instead, opt for neutral, weakly acidic, or soap-free formulations as much as possible.
