Age-related vaginitis is a little better with medication, do I need to use medication?

If you have used the medicine to get better, it is recommended that you continue to use the medicine to consolidate the treatment and prevent the symptoms from worsening or recurring. Age-related vaginitis is seen in post-menopausal women, due to the decline of ovarian function, estrogen secretion is insufficient, resulting in vaginal wall atrophy and thinning, vaginal local resistance is reduced, in the attack of pathogenic bacteria appeared in the inflammatory reaction. Symptoms such as vulvar itching and increased vaginal discharge can occur, and medication can relieve the patient’s discomfort. Topical medication can be used to inhibit bacterial growth, and oral estrogen can also be used. Most patients can improve their symptoms within a week or so, but because vaginitis is prone to recurrence, it is recommended that patients continue to take medication to consolidate the treatment, to prevent recurrence, and to stop taking medication after all the symptoms have been relieved. Patients with senile vaginitis should also pay attention to local hygiene, appropriate exercise and strengthen nutrition in order to improve their resistance to bacteria.
