Medication for itching in female lower body

Women are a high-risk group for vaginitis. Data show that the symptoms of vaginitis in women are increasing year by year. In addition to vaginitis, the incidence of various gynecological diseases in women is also showing a significant increasing trend. When these diseases appear in women's bodies, they will have symptoms of varying degrees, such as itching, pain, etc. Of course, not all itching is caused by gynecological diseases or vaginitis, so women must learn scientific care.

1. Due to the unique physiological structure of women, they are prone to various types of vaginitis. Experts remind women to keep in mind the "four don'ts" when taking medication for vaginitis.

1. Do not rely solely on Chinese patent medicines:

Some gynecological Chinese patent medicines have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, but they are generally slow to take effect and not very targeted. They are often used as auxiliary treatment for chronic gynecological inflammation and cannot be used as the first choice of treatment. For acute trichomoniasis, fungal and bacterial infections, anti-trichomoniasis and antifungal drugs should be used first. Simply using Chinese patent medicines may delay the disease.

2. Do not abuse vaginal suppositories:

Using suppositories to treat inflammation without finding the cause will only make the condition worse. For example, in cases of acute trichomoniasis or fungal infection, corrosive vaginal suppositories should not be used; if it is acute vaginitis, the use of suppositories may cause the inflammation to spread.

3. Don’t buy medicine according to advertisements:

Different types of vaginitis require different medications. Before buying medicine, patients should understand the characteristics of the disease and choose the right medicine. If you are not clear about your symptoms, you should go to the hospital for treatment. The doctor will choose sensitive drugs for treatment based on the infectious pathogens and the patient's physical signs. Do not blindly choose drugs according to advertisements.

4. Do not use antibiotics in large quantities:

Some patients start taking antibiotics immediately after learning that they have vaginitis. In fact, excessive use of antibiotics can make bacteria resistant, destroy the balance between vaginal flora, and prolong the treatment cycle. Especially in the case of fungal infection, the use of antibiotics will aggravate the symptoms of infection.

When treating vaginitis, patients must strictly abide by the precautions for each course of medication. Some patients often forget to take medicine for various reasons. At this time, the symptoms of vaginitis will become recurrent. Over time, the pathogens of vaginitis will develop drug resistance and become more difficult to treat.

Many women think that when they suffer from vaginitis, they can get better by taking medicine step by step. In fact, experts from Youwenbida.com point out that this is not enough, because some women will fall into misunderstandings when using medicines after suffering from vaginitis, which will lead to the aggravation of vaginitis.

2. What should female patients with vaginitis pay attention to when taking medication?

1. When seeing a doctor, you should listen carefully to what the doctor says and ask promptly if you don’t understand anything.

2. Read the instructions for use of the medicine carefully. If you have any questions, contact your doctor in time.

3. Generally, vaginal suppositories are used at night so that the drug can fully decompose during sleep and act directly on the local area. If used during the day, the drug will easily flow out of the vagina, which will not only contaminate the underwear, but also prevent the drug from fully contacting the diseased area.

4. Be sure to persist in treatment. If you are taking suppositories due to vaginitis or cervicitis, you should strive for a complete cure. After treatment, you should still follow the doctor's advice to go to the hospital for a follow-up check. You cannot stop the treatment just because the symptoms have eased. If it is not completely cured, it will easily relapse, and the bacteria will become resistant to the drugs, affecting the efficacy.

5. Some patients do not understand why others do not do vaginal douching, but they do.

In fact, for patients with excessive leucorrhea, directly inserting the medicine will affect the efficacy, so the doctor will recommend flushing first to reduce the secretions before inserting the medicine. This flushing is best done in a hospital.

6. Some suppositories come with tampons, which must be removed promptly and not left in for too long.

7. During the period of suppository, keep the vulva clean and dry, wear cotton breathable underwear, and change it daily. If it is trichomoniasis, candidal vaginitis, etc., not only should the couple treat it together, but they should also pay attention to disinfecting their underwear every day.

8. It is best not to have sexual intercourse during suppository treatment, and suppositories should be stopped during menstruation.

In addition, if women do not pay attention to the use of sanitary pads, it can also lead to vaginitis. For example, some women will use sanitary pads for a long time before and after menstruation to prevent vaginal secretions from staining their underwear. If the sanitary pads are not breathable, the pathogenic bacteria of vaginitis will have the opportunity to multiply in large numbers.
