What should I do if I have a vaginal infection?

Patient's question:

Symptom Description: I have been taking medication for vaginitis for a week, but it's still itchy.
History of Treatment and Effect: Neither has been effective; it's still itchy.
Help Needed: Is there any way to stop the itching?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, normal leukorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, slightly fishy or odorless; its secretion amount and texture are affected by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body. The vagina of a healthy person has an acidic environment, making it generally resistant to infections. However, since the vagina is open to the external environment, it can easily become infected when the body's resistance is low or during unclean sexual activity or poor hygiene. Therefore, if a woman finds that her leukorrhea increases without reason or changes in color, texture, or odor, she should be alert and seek a detailed gynecological examination and routine secretion tests for a clear diagnosis. Then, follow medical advice to treat the symptoms and underlying causes. If necessary, both partners should be treated together. Never self-medicate blindly to cover up the actual condition.
Regarding vaginitis, my personal view is to reject purely antibiotic treatment. Instead, options like ozone disinfection + vaginal microbiota replacement can be effective, providing good results and complete recovery. If you have any questions, feel free to call for consultation. Wishing you health and happiness!
