Patient's question:
My cousin got pregnant and went to the hospital for a follow-up check-up. She was diagnosed with second-degree vaginitis. Since she has already finished breastfeeding, she needs to go to the hospital for treatment. She didn't feel any discomfort in her body before, just a slight increase in white discharge. How is vaginitis treated?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is considered that you may have contracted vaginitis. It is recommended that you undergo a routine examination of vaginal discharge to confirm the specific type of vaginitis before symptomatic treatment. Please do not blindly take medication. Vaginitis includes types such as candidal (yeast), trichomonal, and mixed-bacteria vaginitis, among others. Symptomatic treatment is more effective after diagnosis. Currently, you can use baking soda and Jie Er Yin to rinse the external genitalia and vagina, while changing underwear daily and washing it together with towels and basins. When facing the effects of vaginitis, timely symptomatic treatment should be implemented. Do not avoid seeking medical attention. If the vaginitis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly reassess and adjust the treatment plan.
