How to treat vaginal itching?

If women usually wear clothes that are too tight, or do not pay attention to vaginal hygiene, this may cause a lot of discomfort. For example, vaginal pruritus is a common manifestation of vaginitis. For every female friend, it is best to seek timely treatment when you see bleeding, itching and pain. The following editor introduces some methods to treat itching caused by vaginitis.

The vagina is a unique reproductive organ of women. If you do not have healthy and scientific living habits, it is easy to be infected with some diseases and experience symptoms such as vaginal itching. Vaginal itching is mainly caused by fungal or Trichomonas infection. The common clinical manifestations are vaginal itching and increased leucorrhea, but there are also differences between the two. The typical vaginal discharge of candidal vaginitis is thick and has a tofu-like appearance. To confirm the diagnosis, you need to go to the hospital for examination, and the discovery of fungal hyphae in microscopic examination of leucorrhea is the basis for the diagnosis. The leucorrhea of ​​Trichomonas vaginitis is milky and relatively thin. The detection of Trichomonas in the leucorrhea microscopy is the key to the diagnosis.

Trichomonas or fungi can be transmitted through bathing, swimming, direct contact, and sexual contact is also a route of transmission. Those who suffer from recurrent candidal vaginitis should exclude whether they have diabetes. If they are diabetic patients, recent use of antibiotics and decreased resistance may also be triggering factors.

The treatment of both types of vaginitis needs to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

First of all, the patient should avoid sexual intercourse until cured, change underwear every day, and boil the underwear in boiling water for 10 minutes.

For the treatment of trichomoniasis vaginitis, you can choose to take metronidazole orally (both husband and wife can take it for 7 days) and use metronidazole suppositories in the vagina at the same time.

For candidal vaginitis, 2-4% soda water can be used to flush the vagina, followed by treatment with Daconazole suppositories or Canesten suppositories, and antifungal drugs such as itraconazole, ketoconazole or Diflucan can be added for treatment.

Vaginitis is a disease that is prone to recurrence. After treatment, you should still pay attention to vaginal hygiene. Clean the vulva with warm water as much as possible every day. You can also use some vulvar wash when it itches. And go to the hospital for follow-up examinations on time. If recurrence is found, medication should be used in time to control it.
