Can vaginitis be treated with metronidazole or tinidazole?

Patient's question:

I have vaginitis for almost a year now. It was caused by sexual intercourse during my menstrual period, which led to vaginal itching. I have been treated for it, but it hasn't improved. Can vaginitis be treated with metronidazole or tinidazole?

Doctor's answer:

It cannot be ruled out that it may be caused by vaginitis. Common types of vaginitis include bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, and candidiasis, etc. The medications for treatment are different. It is recommended to perform a routine check of vaginal discharge to confirm the nature of the inflammation before targeted treatment. Currently, Jie Er Yin can be used for wiping to relieve symptoms. In addition to symptomatic treatment for vaginitis, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as a light diet and more outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to obtain good treatment effects.
