Many married women have experienced symptoms of vaginal fungal infection. Vaginal fungal infection may be caused by many reasons, such as not paying attention to personal hygiene or having many sexual partners. After fungal infection, leucorrhea will generally be abnormal and the vagina will also feel obvious itching symptoms, making many women feel restless and very uncomfortable. Therefore, after being infected with fungus, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time. So, how to treat vaginal fungus in women? Let's learn about it together.

Treatment of candidal vaginitis can be done with either Western medicine alone or a combination of Chinese and Western medicine.

(1) General treatment: Actively treat other diseases that may cause candidal vaginitis and eliminate susceptible factors. Keep the vulva clean and dry and avoid scratching. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment. It is not advisable to eat spicy and irritating foods.

(2) Changing the pH value of the vagina: The most suitable pH value for the growth of Candida is 5.5. Therefore, using alkaline solutions to flush the vulva and vagina can change the pH value of the vagina and inhibit the growth and reproduction of fungi. You can use 2% to 4% baking soda water to flush the vagina 1 to 2 times a day, and one course of treatment is 2 weeks. After flushing, wipe the vulva dry and keep it dry to inhibit the growth of Candida.

(3) Vaginal medication: Using imidazole suppositories for vaginal medication has a good effect on candidal vaginitis. Take 1 clotrimazole suppository every night and insert it into the vagina after flushing. 10 to 14 days is a course of treatment; or take 1 Daktarin suppository every night and insert it into the vagina after flushing. 7 days is a course of treatment.

(4) Topical ointments: Applying clotrimazole ointment or dacrylin ointment externally can treat vulvitis caused by fungal infection and relieve symptoms of vulvar itching and pain. Apply externally several times daily for 2 weeks. Yifuqing Ointment is made of econazole as the main drug, with a small amount of local steroid therapeutic agent added. It has a good antipruritic effect and is more suitable for people with candidal vulvitis and vaginitis who have unbearable vulvar itching and pain. Apply externally to the vulva, once in the morning and once in the evening.

(5) Oral medication: Since fungal infections can be transmitted between couples through sexual intercourse, both parties can be treated with oral medication, which can also inhibit intestinal Candida albicans. Fluconazole oral dose: 150 mg once, taken all at once. Or take Sporanox orally: If it is the first infection of candidal vaginitis, take 200 mg each time, take it after breakfast and dinner, and only take it for 1 day; if it is recurrent candidal vaginitis, the dosage of Sporanox needs to be increased, and you can take 200 mg each time, once a day, for 3 consecutive days, or you can take it twice a day, 100 mg each time, for 3 consecutive days. Take the medicine after meals.

Based on the above introduction, we know that suffering from candidal vaginitis must be caused by bad living habits. We must have good hygiene habits, dry and disinfect underwear in time, and pay more attention to hygiene during menstruation, because it is very easy to be infected with bacteria at this time. Do not change sexual partners frequently, as this will greatly increase the chance of fungal infection.
