Doctor's answer:

Your vaginal discharge test indicates vaginitis, but the inflammation is not severe. It is recommended to discontinue any medication. Oral medication cannot fully replace suppository medication, and for the daily treatment of chronic inflammation, in addition to oral Chinese and Western medicine, the most common medication is also suppositories. However, its administration method is relatively special: vaginal medication, such as Baofukang suppositories, is a dosage form that delivers medication into the human cavity, producing local or systemic effects through the metabolism of the vaginal mucosa. Among them, Baofukang suppositories are a pure Chinese medicine preparation, with the functions of promoting qi, breaking blood stasis, generating muscle, and activating blood circulation. The vagina has the ability to self-cleanse, so it is sufficient to pay attention to personal hygiene and sexual hygiene. Patients face the distress of vulvar itching, and we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and not avoid seeking medical attention. If vulvar itching does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly switch treatment plans.
