Patient's question:
I have bacterial vaginosis, and I have been using Clotrimazole Suppositories, Wet Itch Wash, and oral Metronidazole. I have used the Clotrimazole Suppositories for 3 days now, and the itching has stopped. However, whenever the suppository leaks out from inside, it causes a stinging and uncomfortable sensation from the vulva to the vaginal opening. I would like to keep the other medications and switch the Clotrimazole Suppositories to Funing Suppositories. Is that possible?Doctor's answer:
If you have ever used Funing and experienced no pain, you can switch to another treatment instead.1. For vaginal inflammation treatment, a course of 7 days is recommended. At least one full course should be completed. After the next menstrual period, another course should be used to stabilize the treatment.
2. During the treatment, pay attention to washing underwear, towels, and bed sheets with hot water or exposing them to sunlight for sterilization. In terms of diet, it is advisable to eat light and avoid spicy, acidic, or other irritating foods.
3. Maintain cleanliness in the external genital area and change underwear frequently, as well as cleanse the area. In fact, having vaginal inflammation is not something to be feared. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as treatment is sought early, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovery are very high.
