Patient's question:
What is the best medicine for treating vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis comes in several types, commonly caused by bacterial, fungal, and other infections. Generally, doctors first perform a vaginal discharge test to identify the specific type of pathogen before providing targeted treatment. For bacterial vaginitis, metronidazole is often used for treatment. For fungal vaginitis, medications such as clotrimazole and terbinafine are commonly prescribed. Some traditional Chinese medicine formulations, like Baofukang suppositories, also have therapeutic effects on both bacterial and fungal infections. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test. Avoid using random cleaning solutions, as this may delay treatment and lead to dysbiosis.
