Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 33 years old this year. I just feel very uncomfortable downstairs and have a fever. I have vaginitis. I want to know that the vagina is a very private place. If it gets inflamed, how should I use medication? I am very surprised. How should I use medication for vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is divided into three types, including bacterial vaginosis, fungal vaginitis, and trichomoniasis. Generally, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination and test the discharge to diagnose whether it is fungal, bacterial, or trichomoniasis before considering medication. If you do not have a thorough examination at the hospital, you can use many drugs that can treat both fungi and bacteria or trichomoniasis. Examples include nitrofurantoin and erythromycin vaginal capsules, and clotrimazole suppositories. It is essential to wait for self-healing before stopping medication to prevent recurrence. If the medication does not show improvement after five days, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment. There are many treatment methods for vaginitis, but the specific approach depends on the patient's condition.
