Does the symptoms of vaginitis improve after medication still need treatment?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I have vaginitis, vaginal itching, and abnormal discharge. The symptoms improved after medication, but I have some itching again after sexual intercourse, and my husband says he also has some itching. What should he use for medication?

Doctor's answer:

Considering that your vaginal inflammation has not fully healed on its own, it is recommended to focus on local vaginal medication and anti-inflammatory treatment after menstruation. Your partner can use traditional Chinese medicine for cleaning and drying. Always maintain external genital hygiene and dryness. Povidone-iodine or other methods are acceptable. The daily treatment for vaginal inflammation is primarily symptomatic treatment. Patients can take various oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods.
