Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing itching and a bad odor in my private area. My discharge is grayish-brown and looks like cottage cheese. I also have a frequent urge to urinate and pain during urination. I want to ask what methods can quickly treat vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for vaginal inflammation requires awareness of the two categories involved. For trichomoniasis, metronidazole suppositories can be inserted into the vagina. For candidal vaginal inflammation, nystatin suppositories are used. In elderly patients, metronidazole suppositories and clindamycin/prilocin can be inserted into the vagina. For vaginal inflammation in infants and young children, maintaining dry and clean external genitalia is essential. Antibiotics can be taken orally or applied as liquid drops to the vaginal opening, depending on the situation. Active treatment should address other diseases that may lead to vaginal inflammation and completely eliminate predisposing factors. Maintain clean and dry external genitalia to prevent scratching. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited during treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
