Patient's question:
What medication can be taken to treat vaginal candidiasis most quickly?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for vaginitis can involve using disinfectants to kill all microorganisms in the vagina, including normal flora, and then replacing them with pure vaginal mycobacteria cultured in a laboratory to maintain the normal vaginal environment. Normal women's vaginas contain a large number of mycobacteria, which produce lactic acid (this is the source of the odor) and maintain the vaginal pH between 3-4, inhibiting the growth of other microorganisms and providing a self-cleaning function.Advice: Vaginitis requires medication targeted at the pathogenic bacteria to be effective. For example, if it is a fungal infection, antifungal drugs should be used. Fungi thrive in acidic environments, so an alkaline solution of baking soda should be used for sitz baths. Another reason for recurrent vaginitis is not taking medication according to a standardized course or having sexual activity during treatment, or not treating both partners simultaneously.
