Patient's question:
I'd like to ask if gynecological conditions are generally better treated with a (irrigator) or by sitting in a bath. The doctor said not to use an irrigator as it could worsen the condition, but I feel that dirty substances inside don't come out. A few weeks ago, I used an irrigator and all the debris inside came out...What kind of help I'm looking for: I just want to know which method is better.
Doctor's answer:
If it is confirmed that there is an inflammatory infection, and there is also a significant amount of leukorrhea, then the method of vaginal lavage can be added during treatment. If, after treatment, the leukorrhea has decreased, there is no need to perform lavage every day.Medical advice: Repeated and frequent vaginal lavage can alter the pH balance of the vagina, leading to an imbalance in the vaginal flora, which may cause vaginal infections to recur and not heal. Women with gynecological conditions can, while understanding standard treatment, use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily eating habits and never overeat or binge on food.
