Treatment for fungal infections in women: First, adjust the pH level of the vagina by rinsing with 5% sodium bicarbonate solution or cleansing the external genitalia with an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic wash. Additionally, combine treatment with vaginal suppositories, such as inserting nystatin suppositories or using metronidazole suppositories. During treatment, maintain proper hygiene and care of the external genital organs, abstain from sexual intercourse, and, when necessary, ensure that sexual partners also receive concurrent treatment.
