Why does vaginitis not heal with treatment?

Patient's question:

After giving birth to my second child, I didn't know why I often felt vaginal itching. Sometimes my underwear also had a foul odor. Later, after a thorough examination, I found out that I had a vaginal infection. After it healed on its own, it frequently recurred. Even after taking many medications, the condition remained the same. Why is the vaginal infection not healing despite treatment?

Doctor's answer:

The recurring causes of vaginitis are due to cross-infection between couples through sexual activity, which leads to persistent and untreatable conditions. Therefore, treating vaginal inflammation requires systematic medication. After the menstrual period is completely clean, medication should be taken continuously for one week, lasting for three menstrual cycles. During the medication period, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. If sexual activity occurs without medication, the use of condoms throughout the entire process is necessary, and the partner should also take medication simultaneously to prevent the recurring recurrence of vaginal inflammation. In addition to treating vaginitis, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
