What medicine to take for vaginal itching

Under normal circumstances, a woman's vagina will discharge leucorrhea, and during menstruation it will also regularly discharge menstrual blood carrying a large number of eggs. It is precisely because of the existence of these secretions that if women do not change their underwear frequently and do not pay attention to private hygiene, it is very likely that their private parts will be infected by bacteria. This may cause vaginitis. Let’s find out what medicine should be used for vaginal itching?

What medicine is used for candidal vaginitis

1. Change the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina

If you use alkaline drugs to flush the vagina, you can use 2% to 4% soda solution to flush the vagina to change the living environment of the fungus. However, its effectiveness remains controversial.

2. Drug treatment

(1) Nystatin vaginal suppository: inserted deep into the vagina, once in the morning and once in the evening or once every night for 2 weeks. Clotrimazole suppositories or miconazole suppositories can also be used.

(3) Apply topically nystatin cold cream or miconazole cream twice a day.

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.

Male carriers must also receive routine treatment, which is one of the important measures to prevent recurrence of female patients.
