What should I do if the treatment of vaginal infection medication is not effective?

Patient's question:

I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect my fertility. Also, I'm extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. What should I do if the medication for vaginitis isn't working well?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is recommended to implement treatment for the full course, as follows. Attention should be paid when implementing it! This condition often occurs in women who are physically weak and have poor personal hygiene. The treatment for non-specific vaginitis should target its cause, pay attention to hygiene, stabilize the overall condition, and avoid sexual activity until it heals on its own. Additionally, 1% lactic acid, 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, or 0.5% acetic acid solution can be used for vaginal irrigation to correct the vaginal pH. Antibiotic ointment or anti-inflammatory powder can be applied inside the vagina once a day for 7 consecutive days.
