Question 2

Yeast infection me konsi cream lgaye

Dr Chandrakanth Jena · Accepted Answer

Over-the-counter antifungal creams such as clotrimazole or miconazole are commonly recommended for treating yeast infections. These medicines work by stopping the growth of the fungus and helping to relieve itching, redness, and discharge caused by the infection. Apply the cream to the affected area as directed on the packaging or by your doctor, usually 2 to 3 times a day, and continue for at least 2 weeks to ensure the infection does not return. If your symptoms do not improve within a few days or if you experience unusual discharge or pain, please consult your doctor for further evaluation.

Question 3

I am experiencing excessive white discharge along with itching and pain in the groin area. What could be the cause, and what treatment is recommended?

Dr G Reddy · Accepted Answer

Excessive white discharge along with itching and pain in the groin or vaginal area is commonly due to a fungal infection (yeast infection), though it can also be caused by bacterial infection or poor hygiene. Typical signs include thick white discharge, itching, redness, and discomfort. To manage this, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton undergarments, and avoid using scented soaps or products. Antifungal creams or vaginal tablets are often effective, but since you also have pain, it is best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and the right treatment, which may include antifungal or other medicines depending on the cause. Avoid self-medication with steroid creams, as they can worsen the condition.

Question 4

I am having severe itching is it okay to use it ??

Dr Bayyarapu Kumar · Accepted Answer

Severe itching can result from various causes, such as fungal or bacterial infections, irritation, or other conditions, so it is important to identify the root cause first. While Canesten Vaginal Cream is effective for fungal infections, it may not help if the itching is due to another reason. Avoid self-treatment, especially with severe symptoms; consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Question 5

I am experiencing white vaginal discharge. What treatment is recommended?

Dr G Reddy · Accepted Answer

White vaginal discharge can be normal if it is mild, without smell, itching, or discomfort, but if it is thick, foul-smelling, or associated with itching, burning, or pain, it may be due to an infection such as a yeast infection or bacterial imbalance. Maintain good hygiene, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid scented products or douching. Treatment depends on the cause, antifungal medicines are used for yeast infections, while antibiotics may be needed for bacterial infections, so it is best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. Seek medical care promptly if symptoms are severe, recurrent, or associated with pain, fever, or abnormal bleeding.

Question 6

Can I use this if my symptoms are first time and without

Dr Bayyarapu Kumar · Accepted Answer

It’s best not to use Canesten Vaginal Cream without consulting a doctor if you have these symptoms for the first time. Such symptoms can be caused by different infections, not just a yeast infection. A doctor can confirm the cause and recommend the proper treatment. Once a yeast infection has been properly diagnosed before, you can usually use Canesten safely for future episodes.
