Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a strong itching sensation in my vagina. At first, I tried using saltwater to wash it, but it didn't seem very effective. Now, I'm not sure what to do. I want to use a liquid, but I don't know which one is good. I'd like to ask the doctor what is best to use to clean the vagina when suffering from vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Actually, if the disorder is not severe, there's no need to treat it. Vaginal inflammation can indeed be annoying. If you go to a regular hospital, the liquid wash is not a problem. At the same time, using suppositories in conjunction with treatment will be more effective. It's important to change underwear frequently and keep them dry at all times. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided. Vaginal inflammation, especially candidal (yeast) type, is very stubborn, so hygiene must be paid close attention to. Additionally, it's recommended that your husband also get checked. Treating both partners together will be better.
