Patient's question:
I got vaginitis 2 years ago. At first, it was itchy, and I used external medication. I've tried all oral medications and felt better, but it keeps recurring. Recently, the itching has stopped, and now it's started to hurt. I want to ask how to treat mixed vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Mixed vaginitis is a combination of candidal and fungal vaginitis. The main principles of treatment are: completely eliminating the underlying cause and determining whether to use local or systemic antifungal medications based on the patient's condition. In daily life, change underwear frequently, and use boiling water to wash used underwear, basins, and towels. It is possible that vaginitis has already become a chronic condition, so the condition may fluctuate. Treatment for vaginitis generally uses suppositories, but suppository treatment should be maintained for a course after the next menstrual period has ended. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital's gynecology department for follow-up. Vaginal washing can be done, but it is only used as a supplementary treatment.
