1. What are the signs of mycosis vaginalis? How to check?
When you suddenly have vulvar itching recently, even accompanied by tender, cracked, red and swollen vulvar skin, you may have vulvovaginitis. If you find that the leucorrhoea becomes bean curd-like or toilet paper-like, it is likely that this vulvovaginitis is caused by mycosis fungoides. Simply washing and blindly putting medicine will delay its treatment. So you need to put down your work and seek medical attention at the nearest regular hospital.
The examination is very simple, typical mycotic vaginitis vulva is delicate, perineum is cracked, peer open speculum will send more or less beanbag-like leucorrhea, use cotton swab to remove the typical leucorrhea sent for examination, wait for the results can be. Note that virgins can also get mycosis vaginalis. Although you cannot do a vaginal exam, you can use a long cotton swab to gently remove the vaginal discharge. If you get the report card and see 1 to 4 mycobacteria +, the diagnosis is confirmed and you can seek treatment from your doctor.
2. What is the difference between bacterial and mycotic vaginitis in terms of symptoms?
Typical bacterial vaginosis leukorrhea is fishy and can be without vulvar itching. Typical mycosis vaginalis has a bean-like leucorrhea (if you haven’t seen it, it’s like half-dried, half-wet toilet paper) and is accompanied by vulvar itching. Atypical vaginitis cannot be diagnosed symptomatically and requires a routine leucorrhoea test.
3. Why is mycosis vaginalis prone to recurrence?
Mycosis vaginalis is one of the most recurrent of the common vaginitis, why? I think it has to do with the following two factors: “evil Qi is strong” PK “positive Qi is weak”.
Causes of “evil energy”
① Incomplete treatment. Some women diagnosed with mycobacteria, did not adhere to the treatment, as soon as there are no symptoms, and do not review, and later there are symptoms, it is considered a relapse, in fact, in principle, this situation is not repeated, but persistent infection.
② Bad lifestyle habits. There are four main points, one is the sanitary napkin “unhygienic”, a recurrence of menstruation. The second is the underwear “too moist”, not the care of the sun on the induction. The third is the male side “too generous”, privacy is not washed on homework, all to the vagina home. Fourth, the intestinal tract “too sweet”, a lot of sweet food into the belly, high sugar environment mold most happy. Internal and external problems, mold repeatedly occur.
The main factor of “deficiency of positive energy” refers to the physical factor, which is the main content of the study of Chinese medicine, mycotic vaginitis is a category of Chinese medicine “under the belt disease”, “under the belt is all wet disease”, “wetness is heavy and sticky. “It is difficult to heal because of the heavy and sticky nature of dampness. In addition to congenital weakness, the cause of the decline in body mass is the acquired bad habits. For example, staying up late, Chinese medicine believes that “night sleep Yang into Yin”, the body should rest when not rest, it will produce Yin and Yang imbalance, especially the injury to the liver and blood, injury to the kidney essence, the body’s immunity is reduced, the ability to resist disease is insufficient, the disease recurring. The “evil is strong and deficient” is the entry point of Chinese medicine, so in the treatment is not to use medicine alone, but to strengthen the body.
4. How to treat mycosis fungoides?
According to the characteristics of mycosis vaginalis analyzed above, my treatment principle is a combination of western medicine and Chinese medicine.
Mycobacterial treatment is “fast, accurate and complete”.
When choosing medicine for mycosis vaginalis, try not to use traditional Chinese medicine, such as pessary, bitter ginseng suppository, etc. It is easy to delay the treatment and easy to relapse. The treatment must be fast, accurate and complete.
The “fast” means that if you feel itchy vulva, red and swollen, the leucorrhea is beanbag-like to go to a regular hospital to do a gynecological examination, some typical mold without checking the routine leucorrhea, the doctor will be able to confirm the diagnosis, which saves both money and time.
The “accurate” means to treat according to the standard program, such as mycobacteria put medicine before with mycobacterium tablets, because it is easy to dye the underwear, so now more use its alternative, that is, Micodin vaginal tablets (1 tablet a night, even 7 days), now is not good to buy. We often use Clotrimazole vaginal tablets (1 tablet at night and 1 tablet 3 days later), the trade name is Zhengmetin, and you can buy Kenetin yourself, with the added advantage that it is available for pregnant women. Dacrynic is miconazole nitrate, which is generally effective.
The “whole” means that the couple must be treated together, worn underwear, used sheets should be disinfected. It is best for both men and women to avoid eating, such as sweets, snacks, cold, spicy should be eaten less. Usually to strengthen physical exercise. The first time you get mold can only use topical medication, the second time both need to add oral medication (fluconazole or itraconazole). For recurrent episodes, with herbal treatment.
Mycobacteria medication regimen.
Female vaginal release – 1 box of clotrimazole vaginal tablets, 2 tablets in total, once every 3 days, can be put into the vagina after washing the vulva on the 1st and 4th night. Generally, allergies are rare, and the effect is seen on the same day, and it will be reviewed after 1 week of stopping the 2 tablets.
For women and men, external washing medicine – 1 bottle of Chinese herbal lotion, any kind is fine, using water is also fine, note that only vulva can be washed, vaginal douching is forbidden, men should cooperate with external washing. Avoid intercourse during the treatment period.
