Patient's question:
Vaginitis has been going on for about a year or two, starting in high school. I noticed online that it might be candidal vaginitis, so I bought medication myself. Recently, for three consecutive months after my period, I have been treating it with intravaginal administration of metronidazole effervescent tablets. In addition to oral medication, I have also taken anti-cervicitis tablets, except for one dose of azithromycin capsules. Now, in the fourth month, my period is about to come, and I had sex twice, but my vagina is dry and not discharging, with no itching or bleeding. Is the vaginitis cured? How can I reduce my libido?Doctor's answer:
If it is a fungal vaginal infection, using metronidazole suppositories is not suitable. Vaginal dryness is related to vaginal infection or cervicitis, and it may also be affected by insufficient foreplay before sexual activity, abnormal hormones, etc. Currently, it is difficult to accurately determine whether the inflammation has been cured. You can go back to the hospital for tests such as routine vaginal discharge examination, colposcopy, and six sexual hormones to help diagnose, and then choose medication treatment based on the needs. During the treatment period, you should also pay attention to rest in bed. Avoid strenuous exercise, maintain a good mood, and do not have too much pressure.
