Patient's question:
At night, when I take a nap, itchy in the vagina, and there's a burning sensation when I urinate. I haven't had any sexual activity, and this has never happened to me before. Is it possible I have some gynecological inflammation? I'm very worried. Please help me, I'm truly grateful.Doctor's answer:
Non-specific vaginitis is a mixed bacterial infection of the vagina, which is a manifestation of disruption in the vaginal environment. At this time, the dominant bacteria in the vagina, Lactobacillus, no longer hold the leading position. When this occurs, women can take metronidazole or tinidazole orally for treatment. They can also use metronidazole suppositories vaginally. Additionally, lactobacillus capsules can be applied vaginally to restore the normal acidic environment of the vagina and re-establish the dominance of Lactobacillus, thereby treating the condition. Typically, sexual partners do not require treatment. During the treatment period, sexual activity should be avoided to prevent interference with the therapeutic effects of the medication.
