Treatment 1:

Under the guidance of a doctor, local and systemic medications can be used, including Daktarin suppositories and Nystatin tablets. It is appropriate for married couples to receive treatment at the same time. The cure standard for candidal vaginitis is: 3 days after the end of the treatment, stop taking the medicine and check the leucorrhea every day. If the results are negative for 3 consecutive days, it is considered a recent cure.

Treatment 2:

Local treatment can be achieved by first using Chinese herbal fumigation and sitting bath, then applying medicine into the vagina and applying antifungal ointment externally. Topical treatment can be carried out throughout the intermenstrual period, with medication discontinued during menstruation and treatment continued after the menstruation is over. Take Sporanox orally, 200 mg each time, once a day, after meals, for 3 consecutive days.

Treatment three:

Rinse with alkaline solution of sodium bicarbonate or soapy water, then use nystatin tablets after rinsing, avoid overwork, dry the changed underwear in the sun, avoid eating raw, cold, sour, spicy and other irritating foods, pay attention to hygiene and change underwear frequently.

Note:

If you are infected with Streptococcus agalactiae, you need to go to a regular hospital for treatment. Because this disease recurs frequently, the treatment should eliminate the causes that can lead to repeated vaginal Candida infection, extend the treatment cycle, and use multiple treatment methods at the same time.

The dangers of Streptococcus agalactiae

1. Early onset is caused by bacterial infection in the birth canal of the infant. The disease occurs within 7 days after birth and is often manifested as lung infection, sepsis and meningitis. Those with early onset will suffer from respiratory distress at birth. The mortality rate is very high, often between 50% and 80%, and the deaths are mostly caused by type II bacteria.

2. Late-stage disease is mostly caused by postpartum complications of the mother, occurring within 7 to 30 days after birth, with sepsis and meningitis being the most common. The bacterial type is mostly type III, especially meningitis, more than 90% of which is caused by type III. The mortality rate is lower than that of early-stage disease, and the mortality rate of meningitis is about 14%.

3. Young women are prone to Streptococcus B urinary tract infection and endometritis during gynecological examinations, treatments, and after pregnancy and childbirth. They may also develop pneumonia, meningitis, liver abscess, sepsis, etc. Older people, especially those with certain chronic diseases, both men and women can be infected, as can those who receive antibiotics, hormones, and other immunosuppressants for a long time. The mortality rate is relatively high, with some reports ranging from 29% to 52%.
