Doctor's answer:
Hello, the prevention and treatment of non-specific vaginitis are as follows: Modern medicine believes that treatment for non-specific vaginitis should be "symptomatic and specific," targeting the cause of the disease. ① Avoid using corrosive drugs in the vagina and stop using vaginal contraceptives and ointments. ② Pay attention to personal hygiene, frequently clean the external genitalia, eliminate the predisposing factors for the disease, and improve the overall condition. ③ If there is vaginal trauma, it should be repaired as soon as possible to remove foreign bodies from the vagina. ④ Treat diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexal inflammation, and endometritis that are prone to cause vaginal infection and inflammation. ⑤ A 1% lactic acid or acetic acid solution can be used daily for low-pressure vaginal irrigation to alter the vaginal acid-base environment and inhibit bacterial growth. ⑥ Local medication, such as metronidazole 0.2 grams, once daily, for a 7-day course; or antibiotics, such as chloramphenicol or tetracycline, can be applied to the vaginal wall, once daily, for a 7-10-day course. ⑦ Due to vaginal inflammation, sexual activity should be avoided before the condition is cured to prevent infection. Non-specific vaginitis is not caused by specific pathogens such as trichomonas, fungi, or amoebas. This type of vaginitis is also very common. The causes of non-specific vaginitis are multifaceted. Vaginitis caused by vaginal wall injury, foreign bodies in the vagina, corrosive drugs placed in the vagina, excessive vaginal irrigation, surgical injury, or the insertion of contraceptive devices are all non-specific. Pregnancy-related conditions, such as increased uterine secretions after miscarriage or postpartum infection, or infections due to prolonged uterine bleeding, can also lead to non-specific vaginitis. All the above conditions can impair the normal defense mechanisms of the vagina.
