Chinese medicine treatment of fungal vaginitis

In daily life, many women are troubled by gynecological diseases, especially candidal vaginitis, which is a relatively common gynecological disease. When suffering from this disease, the patient will have increased secretions and obvious itching. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that this disease is caused by the accumulation of dampness and heat in the patient's body, which occurs when the patient is invaded by external toxins. When treating this disease, medicines that have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, removing dampness and relieving itching are generally chosen.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that candidal vaginitis is mostly caused by damp heat and insects that breed and eat into the vagina. Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on treating candidal vaginitis from a holistic perspective, using dialectical treatment, insecticidal and antipruritic methods, combining the overall and local aspects, and treating both internally and externally. The treatment has significant effects with mild side effects.

Longdan Xiegan Decoction is used; to treat spleen deficiency and damp-heat type, it is necessary to strengthen the spleen and dry dampness, clear heat and kill insects. Wandai Decoction combined with Bi and Shenshi Decoction is used with modifications.

The local area can be washed externally with decoction of Chinese medicine.
