Can vaginitis be treated with salt water?

Patient's question:

I am forty years old this year, and I have had vaginitis for about four or five months. During this time, I haven't treated it much, but now I feel that my body is quite painful. I collected information online and said that washing with salt water can relieve vaginitis, so I want to ask if vaginitis can be treated with salt water?

Doctor's answer:

If you currently have vaginitis, it is best to seek timely treatment. If left untreated for a long time and your body's resistance is relatively low, it may lead to cervical inflammation. You can use mild salt water for rinsing or use a cleaning solution for rinsing. It is recommended to treat internally in the vagina, such as inserting Baofukang suppositories. A continuous treatment of seven days constitutes a course.
In addition, during the treatment of vaginitis, besides medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must always maintain a positive mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of vaginitis.
