Patient's question:
I bought metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets, and after using them, there was no more taste. I thought it was better because my period came a while ago, and it only started to clear up a few days ago. Yesterday, I had sexual intercourse, but today the odor came back again. What could be the situation? There's an odor in my lower body, and I want to know if it's a vaginal infection. What medicine should I use?Doctor's answer:
The characteristics of candidal vulvovaginitis are recurrent episodes, particularly more pronounced before and after menstruation. It is a formulation that produces local or systemic effects through the conditioning of vaginal mucosa, enhancing the regeneration and repair of inflamed or damaged mucosal tissues. It is best to avoid using detergents or disinfectant solutions to clean the vagina, or even excessive scrubbing, as this may disrupt the balance of the vaginal environment and potentially cause vaginal injury. Simply rinsing with warm water is sufficient for daily hygiene. In fact, having vaginalitis is not, and patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as it is detected early and treated promptly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and undergoing successful treatment are very high.
