Patient's question:
Recently, my lower abdomen has been itchy. Not only is it itchy, but my discharge has also increased, and there is a foul odor in my underwear. I have developed vaginitis. Doctor, can sodium bicarbonate treat vaginitis? Do I need to take medication?Doctor's answer:
Sodium bicarbonate water can treat vaginitis, especially bacterial vaginitis or fungal vaginitis. In such cases, if there is vaginal itching, a change in the odor of vaginal discharge, or a continuous increase in discharge, it may indicate vaginitis. A careful examination of vaginal discharge is recommended. Treatment involves cleaning and medication, and it can be administered at a local reputable hospital. In most cases, oral medication is not necessary. For severe cases of vaginitis, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to alleviate the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer will be helpful to you. Thank you.
