Ask the following questions about general health :

❑ Ask about medical and drug history including recent antibiotic use and type of contraceptive use

❑ Assess for the possibility of a foreign body in situ

❑Ask if there was any surgery or instrumentation to the genital region recently

❑Is there any other health conditions like Diabetes Mellitus?

❑ Is there any history of fever, lower abdominal pain?

❑Vague but inoffensive odour

Dysuria, dyspareunia in patients with intense scratching and itching that led to skin excoriations

❑ Presence of vulval erythema, fissures

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Yes

Dos

  • The use of topical azole formulations can weaken latex condoms and diaphragms. This risk should be mentioned to the woman prior to starting these medications.
  • Referral to a gynaecologist should be considered if there is a history of recent instrumentation or surgery of the genital tract, retained foreign body, cervical ectopy or polyp, or suspicion of tumour on examination; or in women with symptoms of upper genital tract infection or recurrent vulvovaginal candida infections, pregnant women with abnormal vaginal discharge, or women who have failed routine treatment strategies.

Don'ts

  • Patient should be advised to avoid tight-fitting synthetic clothing.
  • Patient should be told to avoid local irritants such as perfumed products and soap gels, and vaginal douching.
  • There is no clear and consistent evidence across currently published studies regarding the role of probiotics for vaginal health.
