Medicines for vaginitis

Women are more prone to vaginal inflammation after they reach a certain age. Because they have sexual life and childbirth experience, they are more prone to inflammation. Vaginitis not only seriously affects people's daily life and work, but also has certain harmful effects on the patient's physical health. Therefore, we must find a fundamental way to treat it. In addition to Western medicine, Chinese patent medicine can also be used to treat vaginitis. Let's take a look at the types of Chinese and Western medicine treatments.

Western medicine treatment of vaginitis:

What are the drugs for treating vaginitis? The systemic medication metronidazole, also known as metronidazole, can be given as a single dose to patients with early vaginitis and can achieve the same effect. It has good oral absorption, high efficacy, low toxicity, and is easy to use. It can be used by both men and women. It is difficult for unmarried women to use local medications in the vagina, but it is convenient to use systemic medications. Gastrointestinal reactions such as loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting may occasionally occur after taking the medicine.

In addition, patients with vaginitis may occasionally experience headaches, rashes, leukopenia, etc. Once discovered, the medication should be stopped immediately. Metronidazole can pass through the placenta into the fetus and can be excreted through breast milk. When taken in early pregnancy, teratogenic effects on the fetus have not been ruled out, so it is not advisable to take it in early pregnancy and during lactation. Topical medication can also achieve good results. Metronidazole is inserted into the vagina once every night. If it is flushed with lactic acid or acetic acid first to improve the vaginal environment, the efficacy will be improved. Because Trichomonas vaginitis often recurs after menstruation, even if the Trichomonas test is negative after treatment, the leucorrhea should still be checked after each menstruation. If it is negative after 3 tests, it can be considered cured. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment.

When the test result for Trichomonas in the treatment of vaginitis is negative, one course of treatment should be continued after the next menstruation, using the same method as before, to consolidate the therapeutic effect. To avoid repeated infection, underwear and washing towels should be boiled for 5 to 10 minutes to kill pathogens. Married people should also check whether the man has genital trichomoniasis and whether there are Trichomonas in the prostatic fluid. If positive, they need to be treated at the same time.
