What medicine should be used for vaginitis? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. What medicine is used for vaginitis?

Vaginitis mainly depends on the cause. Vaginal inflammation is nothing more than infection, which is divided into three categories. One is Trichomonas infection, called Trichomonas vaginitis; the second is fungal infection, which we call candidal vaginitis; and there is a disease called bacterial vaginosis, which is the so-called vaginal microecology. By detecting changes in vaginal flora, we can see whether you have vaginal inflammation. If it is a fungal infection, antifungal treatment will be enough. Most vaginal suppositories will be enough. For some very serious cases, you can take some antifungal drugs orally. Trichomonas infection is mainly treated with vaginal suppositories, for example, metronidazole suppositories, which are used to treat Trichomonas vaginitis. Severe cases can also be treated orally with Trichomonas, such as metronidazole. As for bacterial vaginitis, the changes in the vaginal microecology depend on the patient's symptoms. If the patient has symptoms such as excessive leucorrhea, some symptomatic drugs can be used, including oral antibiotics and vaginal suppositories. However, for most bacterial vaginitis, if there are no symptoms, but only hints in cervical cytology through TCT examination, no treatment is required.
