What are the misunderstandings about the medication for candidal vaginitis

Candidal vaginitis is a relatively common gynecological disease in women, which is mainly caused by infection with fungi. It is also very harmful to women. During the treatment of candidal vaginitis, you must be cautious in the use of medication to avoid misunderstandings in medication. First of all, you cannot simply rely on some Chinese patent medicines. Although Chinese patent medicines have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, the effect is often slow. In the acute stage, you must use some Western medicines in time to kill bacteria.

1. Don’t rely solely on Chinese patent medicine

Some gynecological Chinese patent medicines have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, but they are generally slow to take effect and not very targeted. They are often used as auxiliary treatment for chronic gynecological inflammation and cannot be used as the first choice of treatment. For acute trichomoniasis, fungal and bacterial infections, anti-trichomoniasis and antifungal drugs should be used first. Simply using Chinese patent medicines may delay the disease.

2. Do not abuse vaginal suppositories

Using suppositories to treat inflammation without finding the cause will only make the condition worse. For example, in cases of acute trichomoniasis or fungal infection, corrosive vaginal suppositories should not be used; if it is acute vaginitis, the use of suppositories may cause the inflammation to spread.

3. Don’t be superstitious about advertisements

Different types of vaginitis require different medications. Before buying medicine, patients should understand the characteristics of the disease and choose the right medicine. If you are not clear about your symptoms, you should go to the hospital for treatment. The doctor will choose sensitive drugs for treatment based on the infectious pathogens and the patient's physical signs. Do not blindly choose drugs according to advertisements.

4. Do not use antibiotics in large quantities

Some patients start taking antibiotics immediately after learning that they have vaginitis. In fact, excessive use of antibiotics can make bacteria resistant, destroy the balance between vaginal flora, and prolong the treatment cycle. In particular, antibiotics can aggravate the symptoms of fungal infections.

The harm of candidal vaginitis is quite obvious, and it will have a certain impact on the patient's physical and mental health. What should we pay attention to when taking medication for vaginitis? Through the above introduction, do you understand this issue? If you have further questions, you can consult a specialist at the hospital.
