Women must get out of several misconceptions about the treatment of vaginitis

  1, simply rely on proprietary Chinese medicine Most gynecological Chinese medicine has a clearing and detoxifying effect, can play a better therapeutic effect, but the effect is slow, not targeted, generally used for the auxiliary treatment of chronic gynecological inflammation, not as the first treatment. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things.  Some women use a variety of lotions (including drugs and cleaning) to clean their lower body for a long time, and some even use tap water to rinse their vagina in the shower. Women’s vagina is an acidic environment and is self-cleaning. Long-term use of various lotions to rinse the vagina will kill the beneficial vaginal bacteria, lower the local resistance and increase the chance of infection.  Many patients start taking antibiotics as soon as they hear that they have vaginitis. In fact, the direct consequence of using too many antibiotics is that the bacteria will become resistant to them, destroying the balance between the vaginal flora and causing the fungal growth to flourish, prolonging the treatment cycle and not treating the disease effectively. The use of antibiotics, especially in fungal infections, can aggravate the symptoms of infection.  4. Abuse of vaginal suppositories Some patients believe that vaginal suppositories can treat all vaginitis as long as they are used. In fact, caustic vaginal suppositories for cervicitis and papilloma should not be used during acute trichomoniasis and fungal infections because the use of these suppositories is inherently uncomfortable, with symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, epithelial tissue loss, and vulvar irritation. Their use during acute vaginitis can contribute to the spread of inflammation and aggravate the condition.  5. Stop taking medication when symptoms disappear Most women tend to stop taking medication as soon as their symptoms improve and their leucorrhea becomes normal, based on their subjective feelings. After a few days, when they feel uncomfortable, they use a few more pills, causing vaginitis to recur. In fact, there is a strict course of treatment for vaginitis. If you don’t follow the course of treatment, the infection will mostly rebound again; irregular medication will also create drug resistance, making treatment more difficult.  There are many different kinds of vaginitis and different medications are used for different kinds of vaginitis. Therefore, before buying medication, patients should know the type of disease they are suffering from and choose the right medication. If you are not sure, you should go to the hospital and the doctor will choose the appropriate medication for the treatment according to the infecting pathogen and the patient’s physical signs. At the same time, the doctor will also tell the patient the correct method of medication and course of treatment to avoid drug resistance and recurrence of the disease.  7. Cross-infection between husband and wife Trichomoniasis and fungal vaginitis can infect each other between husband and wife, therefore, when the female partner is sick, the male partner should also go to the hospital for examination and treatment. Some men who are not sick, but are healthy carriers, should also be treated. In addition, it is important to prohibit intercourse during the acute infection, and after the symptoms have improved, it is important to pay attention to contraception when having intercourse to prevent cross-infection.
