Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: How to prevent vaginitis? What details should be paid attention to in daily life? First follow-up question: Recurrent vaginitis, after using Honghe Fugjie, symptoms improved, but soon after sexual activity, it quickly recurs. Symptoms include external genital itching, greenish discharge in severe cases, pain in the external genital area, and a sensation of peeling. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prevention of Vaginitis:① Non-specific vaginitis: Strengthen exercise to enhance physical fitness. Actively treat underlying causes such as vaginal injury, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine bleeding, etc., to reduce the growth and reproduction of pathogens.
② Candidal vaginitis: Pay attention to the rational use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and hormones. Diabetic patients should pay special attention to skin and external genital hygiene. Vaginal candidiasis often coexists with or is cross-infected by candidal fungi in other parts of the body, such as nails contaminated with fungi from scratching itchy skin; patients with anal itching may have intestinal candidal infection. This condition can also be transmitted through sexual activity, so sexual intercourse should be avoided during treatment. If necessary, both partners should be examined and treated simultaneously.
③ Trichomoniasis: Trichomonads can maintain a certain viability during freezing and drying, and also exhibit strong resistance in soapy water of varying concentrations, making them easily spreadable. First, it is essential to eliminate the source of infection. Regular mass screening and treatment are required, and the sexual partners of trichomoniasis patients should also be examined and treated. Second, prevent transmission routes. Encourage showering, change from sit-toilet to squat-toilet, and avoid renting swimwear or towels.
④ Atrophic vaginitis: Enhance the defensive function of the vagina by frequently using acidic substances or drugs that produce acidity.
