Patient's question:
I had a vaginal discharge test at the hospital, and the report said "Vaginal cleanliness 3," with other tests showing "yeast and trichomonas were negative." The doctor diagnosed me with vaginitis and prescribed me "Diazole tablets." However, I am married and don't know how to insert them or what impact they might have on the future. So, I would like to know if there are any other treatment methods besides this.Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and submucosal connective tissue, a common disease in gynecological clinics. The vaginal pH is as high as around 7, so the vaginal resistance is weaker, making it more susceptible to infection compared to women during puberty and the reproductive age. Changing the vaginal pH: The optimal pH for Candida growth is 5.5. Therefore, using alkaline solutions to rinse the external genitalia and vagina can alter the vaginal pH, which would inhibit the growth of molds. A 2% to 4% baking soda solution can be used to rinse the vagina once or twice daily, with two weeks constituting one course of treatment. If the condition of vaginitis is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of vaginitis. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and stay in a positive mood. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can assist everyone.
