Patient's question:
My girlfriend has had vaginitis for a long time and spent a lot of money on it, but it hasn't improved yet. It keeps recurring. What can we do to make it better?"
My girlfriend already had vaginitis before I met her. Because there was a protective membrane, it wasn't severe, but medication wasn't an option either. So, she could only take medication and get injections. After a few days, it seemed to go away, but later it recurred and didn't clear up. Later, after we had sex, the symptoms worsened. At first, it was pelvic inflammatory disease, and it was caused by mycoplasma infection. After a week of intravenous drip treatment, a follow-up ultrasound showed no issues, and a mycoplasma test was also negative. It then turned into vaginitis, which persists to this day.
Doctor's answer:
Dear friend,Your concern is valid. The treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease requires a comprehensive approach, and it takes a long time.
You have a misconception: it's not true that an ultrasound shows nothing. Inflammation cannot be detected by ultrasound; it can only be identified when there is pelvic effusion. Therefore, your friend's condition was not treated thoroughly from the beginning.
Now, you should undergo comprehensive treatment:
1. Maintain a reasonable sexual life. It's best not to have sexual intercourse during the treatment period, for 1 to 2 months.
2. Use medication to clean the vagina and apply medication.
3. Receive intravenous antibiotics, which generally require 3 weeks.
4. Taking traditional Chinese medicine is also an option.
Wishing your girlfriend a speedy recovery.
