The first step in effective treatment for vulvovaginal candidiasis is correct diagnosis to rule out bacterial vaginitis and establish species of yeast. This will include a pelvic exam, 10% KOH wet prep, pH testing, microscopy and yeast cultures.
It's no secret that our bodies change as we age, and some adjustments are unavoidable. But urinary incontinence is one problem older people don't have to live with. Tune in to learn about treatment strategies that can help.
Frequent urges to urinate can be the result of overactive bladder (OAB). This is called urinary urgency. People with OAB can also find they have more than the urge to urinate; they actually need to urinate often. This is called urinary frequency. Incontinence can also be a problem. And people with OAB can experience nocturia, which means they need to get up frequently at night, to go to the bathroom.
Frequent and sudden urges to urinate may be more than a nuisance. They may be symptoms of a urinary condition. Listen to experts describe a condition known as overactive bladder.
Drugs and lifestyle changes are both effective in treating overactive bladder (OAB). Studies show the standard class of OAB medication, anticholinergics, also known as antimuscarinics, are effective in 70% to 80% of patients.
Appropriate treatment for vulvovaginal candidiasis depends on a variety of factors including severity of symptoms, species of yeast and patient factors. Treatments range from a short course of oral or topical therapy for uncomplicated cases to longer courses of therapy and boric acid suppositories for complicated cases.
