Patient's question:
Recently, there have been many red things appearing on my body again, and there are also some in my vagina. It's very itchy. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have fungal vaginitis. How is fungal vaginitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Changes in vaginal pH: The optimal pH for Candida growth is 5.5. Therefore, using alkaline solutions to clean the external genitalia and vagina can alter the vaginal pH, inhibiting the growth of mold. You can use a 2%—4% baking soda solution to clean the vagina, once or twice a day, with 2 weeks as one course of treatment. After cleaning, make sure to dry the external genitalia thoroughly and keep them dry to inhibit the growth of Candida.
