Patient's question:
Since last week, I've been feeling particularly itchy in my vagina. I then carefully cleaned it without paying much attention. This very condition comes and goes intermittently. Sometimes the itching is extremely severe, while at other times there's no sensation. Then, I thought about going to the hospital for a check-up. After the report came back, the doctor said I have vaginitis. I took the medication but it didn't work. I'd like to ask how to treat vaginal vaginitis in gynecology?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis comes in many different types, and the treatment plan varies depending on the type of vaginitis. Bacterial and trichomoniasis vaginitis can be treated with vaginal medications and oral metronidazole medications. For candidal vaginitis, vaginal medications such as clotrimazole are used, along with oral fluconazole and itraconazole medications. Vaginitis can be transmitted between partners, so sexual companions also need treatment. During medication, avoid spicy and irritating foods, limit excessive sugar intake, pay attention to rest, and sterilize underwear with boiling water before placing them in the sun to dry. For severe cases of vaginitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid blindly relying on over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition. The above advice is for reference only.
