Patient's question:
Lower body itching for 3 yearsDoctor's answer:
Disease Analysis: The treatment of fungal infections primarily involves topical medication. Since fungi do not grow well in alkaline environments, an alkaline solution with 2% to 4% sodium bicarbonate solution can be used to rinse the external genitalia and vagina. Then, Nystatin tablets or suppositories (100,000 to 200,000 units) should be inserted into the vagina once daily for a course of 10 to 14 days. Daktarin suppositories (miconazole nitrate suppositories) also have a good therapeutic effect on fungal vaginitis.Guidance: For recurrent fungal infections or those that do not respond to treatment, a comprehensive physical examination should be conducted to rule out diabetes and other organ infections. Attention should also be paid to whether antibiotics and hormone drugs are being used inappropriately. If necessary, under the guidance of a doctor, oral Nystatin, ketoconazole, and other medications can be taken. Personal hygiene should be maintained, with underwear changed frequently. Used underwear, basins, towels, etc., should be boiled and dried in the sun.
Lifestyle Management: Prevention: Wear breathable cotton pants, avoid excessive vaginal cleaning, eat fewer irritating foods, do not overuse antibiotics, maintain a normal and restrained sex life, and keep a positive mood.
