Patient's question:
Is sodium bicarbonate effective for treating gynecological diseases? My friend has a gynecological disease and wants to be treated. It is said that sodium bicarbonate can treat it. Is it true?Doctor's answer:
Sodium bicarbonate tablets are primarily used in clinical diagnosis for the treatment of candidiasis (yeast infection) of the vagina, as candidiasis is caused by a fungus that is sensitive to alkaline conditions. Sodium bicarbonate tablets can be dissolved in warm water for a bath, and this can be combined with suppository treatment for better results. However, they are ineffective for bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis. In fact, suffering from gynecological diseases is not something to be feared. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
