Patient's question:
I have had many instances of unhealthy sexual behavior in the past, and I don't pay much attention to hygiene issues down there. Recently, I've been experiencing discomfort down there and went to the hospital for treatment. The doctor said I have mild vaginitis and prescribed a liquid and calcium fosfomycin to take. I want to buy something else to use, but I'm not very knowledgeable about it. Can mild vaginitis be cured just by using a liquid and taking calcium fosfomycin?Doctor's answer:
If it is mild vaginitis, the main symptoms are vaginal itching and a continuous increase in white discharge. In this case, you can use an external wash solution to clean the area, which can help alleviate the symptoms. During treatment, avoid sexual intercourse and consuming spicy foods that may irritate the condition. If the wash solution does not show improvement after three consecutive days of use, it is recommended to use vaginal suppositories or capsules for a course of treatment. For severe cases of vaginitis, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's recommendations for timely treatment. Avoid using medication blindly, as this may worsen the condition.
