Vaginitis has not been cured

Vaginitis is a gynecological disease with a relatively high incidence rate among women. It is also a disease that can have a great impact on the health of women's private parts and even the health of their reproductive system. If vaginitis does not get better, it is most likely caused by incorrect treatment methods. So, what are the methods for treating vaginitis? Below we will introduce the treatment methods for vaginitis in detail!

1. General treatment

Actively treat other diseases that may cause vaginitis and eliminate susceptible factors. Keep the vulva clean and dry and avoid scratching. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment. It is not advisable to eat spicy and irritating foods. Change your underwear frequently and wash it with warm water. Do not mix it with other clothes to avoid cross infection.

2. Drug therapy

The main treatment for vaginitis is symptomatic systemic or local application of antibiotics, which is generally very effective. The medication varies depending on the type of vaginitis:

(1) Trichomonas vaginitis: Trichomonas exist in the glands of the folds and cervix, and also in the urethra and intestines. Therefore, systemic medication should be emphasized. Sex partners should be treated at the same time.

(2) Fungal vaginitis (Candida vaginitis): You can use 2% to 3% baking soda solution to rinse the vulva, vagina or take a sitz bath. After gently drying, place a nystatin suppository under the guidance of a doctor. Oral anti-Candida drugs can also be used. Pregnant or lactating women should consider the effects on the fetus or infant before taking medication for candidal vaginitis.

(3) Bacterial vaginosis: Oral antibiotics are the first choice. It can also be applied topically and inserted into the vagina.

TIPS: The specific types and names of antimicrobial drugs should be determined by your doctor. Do not use antibiotics blindly on your own.

3. Change the pH of the vagina

The weakly acidic environment of the vagina can maintain its self-cleaning function. Therefore, using a weakly acidic feminine care solution during treatment will inhibit the growth and reproduction of fungi and bacteria. When going to the toilet, wipe the vulva with feminine hygiene wipes and keep it dry to inhibit the growth of Candida.

4. Lifestyle Adjustment

1. Patients with vaginitis should have a light diet and avoid spicy food to avoid generating damp heat or damaging yin blood.

2. Pay attention to diet nutrition and strengthen your physical fitness to drive away evil spirits.

3. Be sure to pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the vulva clean and dry, do not share bath towels or bathtubs with others, and boil and disinfect bath towels and underwear used during illness.

4. Wear cotton underwear and change it frequently. Keep the towel and basin for cleaning the vulva separate. Washed underwear should be placed in the sun to dry, not in the bathroom.

5. Wear breathable clothes and do not wear pantyhose or tight jeans continuously.
