Patient's question:
Vaginal dryness, heat, slight itching, frequent urination. This has been recurring for three or four years. I visited the local county hospital for treatment.Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis (also known as vulvovaginal candidiasis) primarily presents with symptoms such as external genital itching, burning pain, cottage cheese-like discharge, or creamy curd-like vaginal discharge that significantly increases in amount. It is recommended to rinse the external genital area and vagina with an alkaline solution, such as a 2% to 4% sodium bicarbonate solution or soapy water, to alter the vaginal pH and create an environment unfavorable for fungal growth. After rinsing, insert Nystatin tablets or Daktarin suppositories into the vagina, with a dosage of 100,000 to 200,000 units per time, once daily, for a 14-day course. Additionally, applying 3% miconazole cream or Prazosin cream to the external genital area can enhance the effectiveness.
