What medicine should girls take for infection below

If a girl has an infection down there, she should first go for a gynecological examination to find out the cause of her condition. Do not apply any medications at home at random, as this will cause the symptoms to become more serious. During the treatment period, you should not wear any tight pants, as this will cause the area to be poorly breathable and lead to increased bacterial growth. Also, remember to clean your vagina with clean water every day.

1. Avoid wearing tight pants and synthetic underwear. Wear breathable and dry pure cotton products instead. Do not use cleaning fluid frequently to avoid bacterial imbalance. Do not use panty liners except during menstruation. Underwear should be exposed to the sun frequently or boiled in boiling water. 2. If you insist on a reasonable and hygienic sex life, be careful not to have sex too frequently; remember to wash the vulva with warm water before and after sex. 3. Diabetic patients should keep their blood sugar within the normal range and avoid abusing drugs and immunosuppressants.

4. After using the toilet, use toilet paper to clean your lower body from front to back to avoid bringing bacteria from the rectum into the vagina. 5. Try to avoid swimming as much as possible, because Candida albicans has a strong ability to survive in water, and women’s chances of being infected with Candida albicans increase during swimming.

Generally, the drug treatment for vaginitis is mainly external use. Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease or recurrent vaginitis can take oral medications. If necessary, couples can be treated together. Note that long-term oral antibiotics may inhibit normal flora and cause secondary fungal infection.

1. Bacterial vaginosis

The principle of treatment is to use anti-anaerobic drugs, mainly metronidazole, tinidazole, and clindamycin. Caution: Disulfiram-like reactions may occur with both oral and topical metronidazole.

(1) Oral medication: Metronidazole is the first choice.

(2) Local drug treatment.

(3) Sexual partners do not require routine treatment.

2. Candidal vaginitis

(1) Eliminate the cause: If you have diabetes, you should be treated actively and stop using broad-spectrum antibiotics, estrogen and cortisol in time. Change your underwear frequently, and wash used underwear, basins, and towels with boiling water.

(2) Topical medications: miconazole suppositories, clotrimazole suppositories, and nystatin suppositories.

(3) Systemic medications (for patients with recurrent attacks or who cannot take vaginal medication): fluconazole, itraconazole, and ketoconazole. Fluconazole has a lower risk of hepatotoxicity and should be used instead of ketoconazole.

(4) Sexual partners should be tested and treated for Candida albicans.

(5) Pregnancy complicated by Candida vaginitis is mainly treated with local treatment, and oral azole drugs are contraindicated.

3. Trichomonas vaginitis

(1) Local vaginal medication: Metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets or 0.75% metronidazole gel, 1% lactic acid or 0.5% acetic acid solution flushing can relieve symptoms.

(2) Systemic medication: Metronidazole can be used for initial treatment, but the medication should be discontinued if side effects are detected. Do not drink alcohol during the use of metronidazole and within 24 hours of stopping the medication, and do not drink alcohol during the use of tinidazole and within 72 hours of stopping the medication. The efficacy and side effects of metronidazole and tinidazole are similar, including possible disulfiram-like reactions. Do not breastfeed while taking medication.

(3) Sexual partners should receive treatment at the same time and avoid unprotected sexual intercourse before recovery.
