Does a saltwater bath help with vaginitis?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Saltwater sitz baths can treat certain types of vaginitis. The symptoms and treatment of vaginitis refer to inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and submucosal connective tissue, which is a common disease in gynecology clinics. Normal healthy women's vaginas have a natural defense function against pathogens. However, when the natural defense function of the vagina is damaged, pathogens are more easily invaded, leading to vaginal inflammation.
