Is baking soda good for treating vaginitis?

Baking soda, I believe everyone has learned about it in school. The chemical name of baking soda in chemistry is sodium hydroxide. It is stable at room temperature and is not easy to decompose. We also eat baking soda in our daily life. It is solid in nature and is not easily dissolved in water. You can add a small amount of baking soda when making fried dough sticks and bread to increase the taste of the fried dough sticks and bread and make them more fluffy. Baking soda is a weak base, which reacts with acid in the stomach when ingested. Let me tell you in detail whether baking soda is effective in treating vaginitis.

Vulvitis can be treated with local medication or physical therapy, but it must be done under the guidance of a doctor. Never use medication on your own, and at the same time pay attention to personal hygiene.

What are the medications for vulvitis?

Flushing drugs to assist in the treatment of vulvitis: Generally, when treating candidal vaginitis, it is recommended to prepare baking soda solution yourself. When treating Trichomonas vaginitis, some weakly acidic flushing solutions can be used, and the most commonly used one is chlorhexidine acetate solution. There are also some compound preparations that are suitable for various types of vaginitis, which you can also purchase on your own.

Topical medication: In case of acute inflammation, 1% levofloxacin plus 1 foil, livanol solution, or 30% boric acid solution can be used for wet compresses, and 40% zinc oxide ointment can be applied topically after washing; for chronic itching, corticosteroid ointment or 2% diphenhydramine ointment can be applied. Oral medication: When the symptoms are severe, you can take 4mSt of chlorpheniramine, 25mg of diphenhydramine or 25ml of isopropylamine orally to achieve both sedation and desensitization effects.

Daily vulvar wash: From a medical point of view, daily washing can be done with cooled boiled water. A little vinegar can be added if necessary. There is no need to use special washes. This is the answer to what medicine is good for vulvitis.

Vaginitis is a manifestation of an imbalance in the proportion of vaginal microorganisms, so it is unscientific to treat vaginitis by simply killing vaginal microorganisms, especially some drugs with a broad spectrum of bactericidal activity, which "do not distinguish between friend and foe". When killing pathogenic microorganisms, they also eliminate the dominant bacteria (Lactobacillus, Mycobacterium vaginalis). You will feel more comfortable during the medication period, but once you stop taking the medicine, other bacteria will quickly grow again, causing repeated inflammation. This is a misunderstanding and vicious circle in the current treatment of vaginitis. The scientific method is to kill abnormal microorganisms while restoring the normal flora of the vagina.

Vaginitis is the inflammation of the vagina. How exactly does it become inflamed? It may be that bacteria have entered the vagina, or it may be that the vagina is not kept clean. So this is of no use and requires specific examination. Without realistic verification, we don’t know what type of vaginitis it is. I hope you go to the hospital for further examination and listen to the doctor. After learning so much, I believe everyone has some understanding of whether baking soda is good for treating vaginitis.
