Patient's question:
Hello, for vaginitis caused by frequent medication use, itching, soreness, and heat, can it heal on its own without medication? How long does it take?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the vaginitis is caused by infection, medication treatment is generally still required. The possibility of self-healing is very small. The duration of treatment varies among individuals. Treatment typically involves oral metronidazole and the insertion of metronidazole suppositories into the vagina, with a course of 7-10 days, repeated for 3 months, and 1% lactic acid solution for external genital washing. The husband should also be treated concurrently, and sexual activity should be avoided during the treatment period. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene, prevent unsafe sex, and avoid cross-infection.
