What should I do if I have excessive vaginal discharge due to vaginitis?

Vaginitis is a very common gynecological disease. Although this type of disease will not cause much pain to patients, it will still pose a threat to women's health if not treated. The most notable feature of vaginitis is the excessive amount of vaginal discharge, as well as a series of symptoms such as vaginal itching. The treatment of vaginitis needs to be approached from many aspects. Follow the editor to learn about the methods of treating vaginitis in detail.

1. Change the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina

If alkaline drugs are used to flush the vagina, 2-4% soda solution can be used to flush the vagina to change the living environment of pathogenic bacteria.

2. Administration of fungicides:

1. Insert the vaginal suppository that inhibits pathogenic bacteria deep into the vagina, once in the morning and once in the evening or once every night for 2 weeks.

2. Take 500,000 U of nystatin orally, 4 times a day.

3. Apply compound nystatin cold cream topically twice a day.

4. Take ketoconazole 400 mg orally, twice a day for 5 days.

5. Trichomycin. See the treatment of trichomoniasis for details. In addition, oral administration of clotrimazole or clobendazole 0.5-1g 3 times a day, or topical application of 1-5% ointment, cream or lotion 3-4 times a day, also has good therapeutic effects.

6. Topical application of 1-2% gentian violet solution is a long-standing treatment that is very effective and widely used, but it has the disadvantage of contaminating underwear.

Pregnant women with candidal vaginitis may recover after delivery, but the newborn is at risk of infection, so timely treatment is still needed, preferably with local medication, using the same method as above.

3. Do not over-clean the vagina

Under normal circumstances, our vagina (disease) will maintain the balance of acidity and alkalinity by itself. Try not to clean the vagina with detergents or disinfectants, or even over-scrub it. Normally, just rinse it with warm water.

Paying attention to many small details in life can also help improve vaginitis, especially when choosing pants. You can choose some cotton breathable pants because these pants can keep the vulva dry. Some patients like to use sanitary pads when they have a lot of leucorrhea. In fact, this practice is unscientific.
