What should I do if my vulva is itchy due to candidal vaginitis?

Vaginitis is usually fungal vaginitis. Fungal vaginitis can cause itching, local pain, edema, and erosion in severe cases. The symptoms should not be underestimated. In particular, many people will suffer from itchy vulva due to the influence of fungal vaginitis. For this, we should first change the acidity of the vagina, and then use bactericides to inhibit vaginal bacteria, and treat it with oral antibacterial drugs. Standard methods can be used to solve fungal vaginitis.

1. Change the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina

If you use alkaline drugs to flush the vagina, you can use 2-4% soda solution to flush the vagina to change the living environment of the fungus.

2. Administration of fungicides:

1. Nystatin vaginal suppository (containing 250,000 U of nystatin) is inserted deep into the vagina, once in the morning and evening or once every night for 2 weeks.

2. Take 500,000 U of nystatin orally, 4 times a day.

3. Apply compound nystatin cold cream topically twice a day.

4. Take ketoconazole 400 mg orally, twice a day for 5 days.

5. Trichomycin. See the treatment of trichomoniasis for details. In addition, oral administration of clotrimazole or clobendazole 0.5-1g 3 times a day, or topical application of 1-5% ointment, cream or lotion 3-4 times a day, also has good therapeutic effects.

6. Topical application of 1-2% gentian violet solution is a long-standing treatment that is very effective and widely used, but it has the disadvantage of contaminating underwear.

Pregnant women with candidal vaginitis may recover after delivery, but the newborn is at risk of infection, so timely treatment is still needed, preferably with local medication, using the same method as above.
