Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I heard that long-term use of antibiotics can also lead to vaginitis. Can vaginitis be treated with traditional Chinese medicine? Will it be cured after TCM treatment? How long does it take? For those who want to have children, is Western medicine better than TCM for treating vaginitis? First follow-up question: Can bacterial vaginitis be treated with TCM? Second follow-up question: If TCM is used, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello! There are many types of vaginitis, with common ones including bacterial vaginosis, fungal vaginitis, and trichomoniasis. Therefore, the choice of medication should be based on the cause and should not be used blindly without proper guidance, as this may have the opposite effect. Medication can be taken during menstruation, but vaginal medication is prohibited. It is recommended to pause medication when your period starts and resume it after it ends. Pay attention to personal hygiene and sexual hygiene in daily life.
