Patient's question:
What kind of medication is used for vaginitis patients in the hospital? Can it be bought at a regular pharmacy? In June, I went to the women's and children's hospital because of external itching and was diagnosed with candidal vaginitis. The doctor prescribed a week's worth of vaginal medication, as well as baking soda and a topical ointment. Since I am still breastfeeding, I cannot use self-inserted medication, but I have been experiencing some itching again these past few days. I would like to know what kind of medication is used in the hospital for vaginitis patients. Is it a suppository? Or a disinfectant? Can it be bought at a regular pharmacy?What kind of help I need: I would like to know what kind of medication is used in the hospital for vaginitis patients. Is it a suppository? Or a disinfectant?

Based on your current condition, it may be caused by vaginitis. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge examination. After the examination, treatment should be administered according to the symptoms. Absolutely do not use medication blindly, as this may worsen the condition. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change your underwear and pants frequently, and clean the perineum with warm water. Wash your underwear and pants in the sun. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided.
