Patient's question:
I am a 33-year-old woman who usually doesn't have much going on, but after having sex with my boyfriend, I always feel uncomfortable in my private area. Not only is the color of my discharge abnormal, but the odor is also very unpleasant. This issue has been troubling me for a long time. Please ask: What medication is best for vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis tends to recur easily and is related to poor hygiene of the external genitalia, sexual hygiene, and menstrual hygiene. During treatment, if the male partner does not receive treatment, cross-infection can occur during sexual activity. The medication should be taken for three courses, and do not stop taking it when symptoms improve or disappear. The husband should also be treated simultaneously. During menstruation, the external genitalia can be washed, but sanitary pads should not be used for less than six hours. Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, regulate physical and mental health, and pay attention to keeping a good mood in daily life. It is also important to eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
