Patient's question:
Female, 27 years old, I have vaginitis, it's very itchy down there, especially itchy every morning. I have already gone to the hospital and been prescribed oral medication. It was effective at first, but then it started itching again. How is Candida vaginitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Mainly, local medication and multi-directional approach are the foundation. While local medication is being administered, other treatments are also very important. For example:1. The male partner may be affected; if so, he should also be treated.
2. Alkaline solutions can be used to rinse the vagina (since fungi dislike acidic environments). A 2–4% baking soda solution can be used to alter the environment for fungi.
3. Personal hygiene should be maintained, and underwear should be changed frequently. Used underwear, basins, towels, etc., should be boiled and dried in the sun.
4. Rest is important, ensuring deep sleep, as significantly boosting the body's immunity is crucial.
