Patient's question:
I easily get gynecological diseases in this year, it's vaginitis. It keeps recurring repeatedly. Even after treatment, I still get infected again. I've had the illness more than ten times. It really makes me angry. This time, I want to be thorough. I hope it won't flare up again. What should I do if I'm prone to vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Active treatment of vaginitis requires the complete elimination of susceptible factors. Maintain clean and dry external genitalia, and avoid scratching. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited during treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Use decoctions of traditional Chinese medicine with heat-clearing, detoxifying, insecticidal, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving effects to steam and rinse the external genitalia. This can alleviate symptoms and inhibit and eliminate Candida. Due to the significant reduction in symptoms such as itching, pain, and burning after rinsing, it is more suitable for women with acute candidal vaginitis, as it can reduce patient discomfort. Additionally, herbal medicines can be prepared as powders or suppositories for vaginal medication. For severe vaginitis, patients are advised to seek timely treatment and follow the doctor's recommendations for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
