Patient's question:
How to take medication when suffering from both candidal vaginitis and bacterial vaginitis simultaneouslyDoctor's answer:
Guidance: All cases of candidal vaginitis should be treated continuously for three menstrual cycles. Normal vaginal discharge should be confirmed three times consecutively before and after menstruation to ensure effective treatment. Additionally, underwear, bed sheets, and other items should be exposed to sunlight and boiled to sterilize them, as failure to do so can easily lead to recurrence. A 2% to 4% baking soda solution can be used to rinse the vagina once or twice daily, with two weeks constituting one course of treatment. Subsequently, clotrimazole suppositories should be inserted into the vagina nightly after rinsing, with 10 to 14 days constituting one course of treatment. Alternatively, miconazole suppositories can be used nightly after rinsing, with a 7-day course of treatment.For bacterial vaginosis, it is recommended to use metronidazole capsules. Oral medication should be supplemented with metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets for treatment. Daily hygiene of the lower body and frequent changing of underwear and undergarments are also advised.
