Does vaginitis require medication?

Patient's question:

My wife had her second child, and her leukorrhea has increased, along with itching. The day before yesterday, after a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said she had vaginitis and recommended using a liquid to clean the external genitalia. I thought since it's an inflammation, there should be a need for oral anti-inflammatory medication. Is it necessary to take medication for vaginitis?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginitis is a common gynecological disease among women, which can cause abnormal symptoms such as vaginal discharge itching and discomfort. Local itching symptoms can be relieved by using a cleansing solution. If the symptoms of vaginitis are severe, anti-inflammatory drugs can also be taken orally for treatment. However, it is recommended that you first undergo a thorough examination and diagnosis to determine which type of vaginitis it is before taking medication, as different types of inflammation require different treatment methods.
Additionally, during the treatment of vaginitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very crucial. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above answer can help you. Thank you.
