Patient's question:
Recently, my leukorrhea has been poor, and there is significant vaginal itching. I went to the hospital for a gynecological examination. The doctor said I have vaginitis and cervical inflammation and prescribed medication. They also gave me a liquid for vaginal use, saying I need to use it every day. I would like to consult whether vaginitis and cervical inflammation can be completely cured on their own?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis and cervicitis can heal on their own, but they are also prone to recurring. Vaginitis comes in many different types, so it's best to get tested at a hospital for a diagnosis and then receive targeted treatment. Daily cleaning of the external genital area with clean water is recommended, and topical anti-inflammatory, anti-swelling, and pain-relieving ointments can be applied. It's important to change underwear and sleepwear daily. Oral antibiotics like cephalosporins and nitroimidazole medications can also be taken for treatment. During the illness, it's best to avoid sexual activity to prevent cross-infection.While undergoing professional treatment, patients with vaginitis can also use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment. It's crucial to avoid extreme hunger or overeating in daily life and never binge on food.
