What is the best ointment for vulvitis?

Due to the special structure of the female reproductive organ, if you don't pay attention to it, you may suffer from vulvitis due to various factors. This gynecological disease is difficult for countless women to talk about. What is the best ointment for vulvitis is the most concerning thing. Because vulvitis is divided into acute and chronic conditions, when using medication, you must use the right medication according to your condition to achieve the best treatment effect. Let’s take a look at the treatment methods for vulvitis.

Vulvitis can be divided into two types: acute and chronic:

Symptoms of acute vulvitis:

The patient first feels discomfort in the vulva, followed by itching and pain, or a burning sensation. At the same time, the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva (including the labia majora, labia minora, and clitoris) may experience varying degrees of swelling and congestion. This is a symptom of acute vulvitis. Although there are defense mechanisms for the vulva and vagina, the vulva is easily contaminated because it is adjacent to the urethra in front and the anus in the back. The vulva and vagina are also the necessary passages for sexual intercourse, childbirth and various uterine cavity operations, and are easily damaged and infected by various external pathogens. This is to pay attention to the symptoms of acute vulvitis.

Symptoms of chronic vulvitis:

When patients have symptoms of chronic vulvitis, they may experience vulvar itching, thickening, roughness, and cracking of the skin, and may also have painful urination or sexual intercourse. Under normal circumstances, aerobic bacteria and anaerobic bacteria live in the vagina, forming normal vaginal flora. Aerobic bacteria include: Corynebacterium, non-hemolytic streptococci, enterococci, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Facultative anaerobes include Lactobacillus, Gardnerella and Escherichia coli. Women should not panic too much when they develop vulvitis, as incorrect treatment methods are the main reason why many diseases cannot be cured and recur over and over again.

There are two ways to use the medicine:

1. Sitz bath: Use 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for sitz bath, 2-3 times a day. After drying the vulva, apply tetracycline ointment topically.

2. External antibacterial drugs: When the vulva of a young girl becomes inflamed, it is very easy for the labia minora on both sides to form adhesions. After a sitz bath, apply tetracycline ointment on the inside of the labia minora. Apply the ointment on the inside and avoid applying it to the vaginal opening.

Scientific diagnosis and treatment of vulvitis, avoid indiscriminate use of drugs! The biggest taboo of vulvitis is the indiscriminate use of drugs. Experts suggest that the best way to treat vulvitis is to diagnose it first, then undergo a standardized examination and then receive treatment.
