Doctor's answer:
Hello, in response to your comment:Precautions for Vaginal Inflammation
To completely cure vaginal inflammation, in addition to the doctor's symptomatic treatment, patients must also actively cooperate and follow the doctor's instructions.
① The husband or sexual partner should undergo targeted treatment simultaneously. In fact, besides gonococcal vaginitis and viral vaginitis, trichomoniasis and candidiasis can also be transmitted sexually. Therefore, the husband or sexual partner may also be infected with the disease, and if left untreated, it can lead to repeated infections in the patient.
② It is essential to complete the prescribed treatment course by the doctor. For most patients, if the medication is used correctly, test results will show negative within a few days. However, this does not mean the condition is completely cured. In reality, some undestroyed bacteria are hiding beneath the mucosa. When the patient's immunity is weakened before the next menstrual period, they will reappear. Therefore, true vaginal inflammation cure means having negative test results for three consecutive months, with medication taken for 7 days after each menstrual period.
③ During treatment, maintain external genital cleanliness and avoid sexual intercourse.
④ It is crucial to "treat" living utensils simultaneously. The patient's towels and underwear may also be contaminated with pathogens. If they are not treated concurrently, the treatment results will be wasted. Therefore, towels and underwear should be thoroughly disinfected: boil for 15 minutes and dry them in the sun. They should also be stored in a well-ventilated and dry place.
⑤ Change underwear daily, and it is best to wear loose cotton underwear to maintain vaginal ventilation and dryness.
