Help Needed:
How to treat vaginitis, what medication to use, with the hope that medication can be combined with dietary supplements for simultaneous treatment. A quick recovery is desired.
Doctor's answer:
When treating vaginitis caused by Candida, it is important to first rule out whether the patient has diabetes. If diabetes is detected, the use of antibiotic and estrogen medications should be immediately stopped, and active treatment for diabetes should be initiated. Miconazole soft capsules are commonly used for treating vaginitis. They should be inserted into the vagina before bedtime every night for 7 consecutive days. During menstruation or for those who cannot receive vaginal medication, fluconazole tablets can be taken orally to achieve the goal of treating vaginitis. One tablet per day should be taken for 3 consecutive days. Stimulating, spicy foods, as well as overly sweet, greasy, and cold foods, not only lead to the production of damp-heat qi, thereby damaging yin blood, but also disrupt endocrine levels in the body, which are very unfavorable for the recovery of vaginitis. Therefore, during the treatment of vaginitis, the diet should primarily consist of light foods, while also paying attention to nutrient intake. Only by improving immunity can the body better resist bacteria.
