Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of local POME optical treatmeat in patients with severe vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) . Methods Ninety-eight patients, who were diagnosed as severe vulvovaginal candidiasis from January to December 2009 in Beijing Wuzhou Women's Hospital gynecologicalclinic,were enrolled into this study and divided into control and physiotherapy groups randomly. The patients of control group (re =48) were treated with oral Fluconazole and had Miconazde Nitrate suppositories settlement into vagina, while in the physiotherapy group (n =50) the patients accepted local POME optical treatment combined with the same medications as control. The therapeutic effect were evaluated and compared according to the subjective symptoms and VVC scores in both groups. Results The clinical symptoms of physiotherapy group were relieved within 4 hours after the treatment, which were significantly depressed compared to before the treatment (itching score 1.4 ±0.3 vs. 2. 8 ±0. 5,P <0. 05;pain score 1.5 ±0.4 vs. 2. 8 ±0. 3,P <0. 05),while obvious improvements were observed in control group untill 48 hours later (itching score 1. 8 ± 0. 6 vs.2.9 ±0.3,P<0. 05;pain score 1.5 ±0.5 vs. 2. 8 ±0.4,P <0. 05). The VVC scores were significantly lower in physiotherapy group than control after treatment at different timepoints (24 h VVC Score 5. 3 ± 1. 6 vs. 9. 5 ±2. 1,P<0. 05;48 h Score 4. 8 ±1.0 vs. 7.9 ±2. 3,P<0. 05),but no significant difference was observed in the comparison of VVC Scores between two groups 72 h after treatment (P > 0.05). Conclusion Local POME optical treatment combined with drug treatment in severe VVC patients not only has better effect than drug treatment alone,but also relieves clinical symptoms more quickly.
