How to properly treat vaginitis

Patient's question:

The basin used for washing the external genitalia and the basin used for washing underwear... can they be the same? Will it have an effect?
I have had vaginitis for a while, and the doctor prescribed a Chinese herbal medicine decoction for me to take home and soak. I don't know if the effect of the Chinese herbal medicine will be good?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Vaginitis clinically manifests with changes in the characteristics of vaginal discharge and the main clinical features of pruritus, burning pain, and ulcers in the external genitalia. Pain during intercourse is also common. When the urethra is involved, symptoms such as dysuria and urinary urgency may occur.
Guidance: Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia, and avoid scratching. Abstain from sexual activity during treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Alkaline solutions can be used to rinse the external genitalia and vagina, altering the vaginal pH to inhibit the growth and reproduction of fungi.
