Should I take anti-inflammatory drugs for vaginitis?

Some female friends may experience vaginitis, for example, the vagina may be very itchy and uncomfortable, or abnormal leucorrhea may occur. If the vagina becomes inflamed, it is necessary to take anti-inflammatory measures in time. Currently, many girls will take medication to treat vaginitis, but anti-inflammatory drugs are not to be taken casually. Should you take anti-inflammatory drugs for vaginitis? The following is a detailed introduction to the treatment of anti-inflammatory drugs.

Many women have this "bad habit": when they find abnormal leucorrhea and vaginal itching, they think they have vaginitis and immediately go to the pharmacy to buy anti-inflammatory drugs and topical lotions to treat themselves. In fact, this is wrong behavior.

Women - Gynecological Examination - Vaginal Diseases

There are as many as 29 kinds of anaerobic and aerobic bacteria in the normal female vagina. Although patients with vaginitis may have symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, fishy odor, mild vulvar itching or burning sensation, vaginitis caused by different flora has different symptoms, and other gynecological diseases also cause similar symptoms. Thinking that you have vaginitis as soon as you have similar symptoms is an unscientific way of treating the disease.

Secondly, once you find that you have vaginitis, it is very dangerous to buy medicine to clean the vulva or take large amounts of oral anti-inflammatory drugs privately. Under normal circumstances, vaginal lactobacillus plays a dominant role and the vagina is acidic, so the various bacterial flora in the vagina can restrain each other and women do not get sick. However, if anti-inflammatory drugs are used in large quantities, the normal bacteria in the vagina will be killed, and the pathogenic bacteria that cause vaginitis will grow rampantly. Moreover, indiscriminate use of drugs before it is clear which pathogenic bacteria are "rebelling" will only be counterproductive.

If you suffer from vaginitis, the correct approach is to see a regular hospital in time, take vaginal secretions for testing, and find out which pathogens are causing the vaginitis. If necessary, vaginal bacterial culture + drug sensitivity test, fungal culture + drug sensitivity test, other pathogen tests (such as mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc.) + drug sensitivity test and other tests are needed. Based on these test results, clinicians will prescribe corresponding drugs for the bacteria to treat the disease.

Do you need to take anti-inflammatory drugs for vaginitis? In fact, some drugs have good anti-inflammatory effects in treating vaginitis. Girls also need to pay more attention to their personal private hygiene in daily life. Especially if girls do not have good private hygiene, it is easy to have serious inflammation. After suffering from vaginitis, you can take the above methods to reduce inflammation, which will be more effective.
