Patient's question:
Lately, I've been experiencing abnormal leukorrhea and vaginal itching. After a careful examination, it was found to be vaginitis. I'm asking, for bacterial vaginosis, what treatment is most effective?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is a type of vaginitis caused by a fungal infection. Symptoms include intense itching of the external genitalia, even with pus and pain, vaginal burning pain, which is more pronounced during urination. The discharge is white, like cottage cheese or curd, and the vaginal walls are covered with white pseudomembranes. After wiping, the mucosa appears red. Treatment is based on local vaginal washing and medication, such as using baking soda solution or miconazole nitrate cream vaginal suppositories. It is also important to pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid using bathtubs or soaking in baths, to reduce the risk of infection and transmission.There are many treatments for bacterial vaginosis, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms appear.
