How to treat vaginal itching?

The vagina is a reproductive organ unique to women, but because the vagina and urethra are close to each other, many women often have vaginal problems due to hygiene issues. Among them, vaginal itching is a very common disease. After becoming ill, patients often suffer from unbearable pain because of the itching inside the vagina, and they feel as if they are beyond the reach of external forces. So, what is the best way to treat it at this time?

The vagina is a unique reproductive organ of women. If you do not have healthy and scientific living habits, it is easy to be infected with some diseases and experience symptoms such as vaginal itching.

Vaginal itching is mainly caused by fungal or Trichomonas infection, which can be transmitted through bathing, swimming, direct contact, and sexual contact is also a transmission route. Those who suffer from recurrent candidal vaginitis should exclude whether they have diabetes. If they are diabetic patients, recent use of antibiotics and decreased resistance may also be triggering factors.

The treatment of both types of vaginitis needs to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

First of all, the patient should avoid sexual intercourse until cured, change underwear every day, and boil the underwear in boiling water for 10 minutes.

For the treatment of trichomoniasis vaginitis, you can choose to take metronidazole orally (both husband and wife can take it for 7 days) and use metronidazole suppositories in the vagina at the same time.

For candidal vaginitis, 2-4% soda water can be used to flush the vagina, followed by treatment with Daconazole suppositories or Canesten suppositories, and antifungal drugs such as itraconazole, ketoconazole or Diflucan can be added for treatment.

Vaginitis needs to be followed up after treatment because it may recur afterwards, especially candidal vaginitis. If it is not treated thoroughly or there are predisposing factors, it may recur. Therefore, after 2 weeks of treatment and after the next menstruation is over, you should go to the hospital for examination again. If possible, the examination should be continued for 3 months. Of course, if it is inconvenient, you can also use vaginal suppositories to apply the medicine directly for a few days after each menstruation is over to prevent recurrence.

If you want to avoid the trouble of vaginal itching, you must first pay attention to personal hygiene, wash the vulva frequently with warm water, change underwear frequently, and expose the underwear to the sun frequently for disinfection. Secondly, paying attention to hygiene in public places and avoiding direct contact of the vulva with bathtubs, toilets, etc. can effectively prevent the occurrence of this disease. If you are sick, you should pay attention to timely treatment.
