Patient's question:
I have had vaginitis for two years, and I have been treated several times, but it hasn't been fully cured. I had a proper and thorough examination once, and the result was Uu>10^4. Currently, my leukorrhea is still excessive and thick, and I also feel some itching.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: I have been treated several times, but the results were not particularly good. I feel that the doctors at the hospital I visited were not very responsible. They just had me undergo tests and then prescribed very expensive medications.
Type of help desired: I would like to ask if taking metronidazole tablets would be suitable for my condition. Thank you for your clarification.
Doctor's answer:
First, you need to have a detailed description of the thorough examination results after the consultation, such as the nature of the vaginitis (yeast or trichomoniasis), to guide medication and treatment. Otherwise, it is easy for the treatment to be incomplete and for the condition to recur repeatedly. If it is trichomoniasis, the treatment method involves using lactic acid or acetic acid for vaginal washing once a night, alternating with oral metronidazole three times a day for 7 days, or using vaginal suppositories once a night. Both sexual partners should be treated simultaneously. A follow-up white discharge test should be conducted after each menstrual period. If it is yeast vaginitis, a systematic and comprehensive evaluation of the treatment is required to prevent recurrence and the development of drug resistance.
