Patient's question:
Yesterday, I went ice skating with my cousin at the swimming rink. After coming back, she said her stomach was hurting badly, like sharp, intermittent cramps. Worried it might be appendicitis, she went to the hospital for a thorough examination. Unexpectedly, the diagnosis was vaginitis. After hearing this, she felt very concerned. Can mycoplasma infection-induced vaginitis be cured?Doctor's answer:
Mycoplasma infection-induced vaginitis can be treated effectively. Currently, if vaginitis is detected, it can be treated with oral medication and vaginal suppositories. Macrolides and tetracyclines can be used for the treatment. Generally, about two courses of medication may be required to cure it. During the medication period, it is important to avoid sexual intercourse and adhere to the prescribed course of treatment. A re-examination can be conducted one week after stopping the medication. Vaginitis can cause significant distress to patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, dietary issues should be given more attention, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. It is hoped that patients with vaginitis can receive professional treatment.
