For the treatment of fungal vaginitis, the main drugs include miconazole nitrate suppositories, clotrimazole-based preparations, or antifungal agents. These medications are generally very sensitive, and only a very few people with long-term fungal vaginitis may develop resistance. In such cases, it is necessary to perform a culture and drug sensitivity test. Only a minority of people require this kind of culture, and the final choice of sensitive drugs can treat the condition. For recurrent fungal vaginitis, it is necessary to strengthen the treatment and extend the course of therapy. Oral medications such as fluconazole can also be used.

Vaginitis is caused by what?

There are many causes of vaginitis, most of which are due to sexual activity. During sexual activity, the normal environment of the vagina can be altered. The vagina contains normal bacteria and has a relatively high acidity. If there is sexual activity, the pH balance inside the vagina can change, allowing pathogenic bacteria to proliferate, thus making it easy to develop vaginitis. Additionally, poor personal hygiene can also lead to vaginitis, such as using damp sanitary products and not changing underwear promptly. Therefore, it is essential to maintain hygiene during sexual activities and to keep the external genital area clean, wearing breathable, cotton underwear.

Symptoms of yeast vaginitis

Vaginal yeast infection, formerly known as vulvovaginal candidiasis, is a common and frequently occurring inflammatory disease of the vulva and vagina caused by Candida. Typical symptoms include itching of the vulva and vagina, with the severity of the itching varying, starting and stopping intermittently. When the itching is severe, it can cause restlessness and disrupt sleep and eating. In more severe cases of inflammation, there may also be pain during urination or intercourse. Another main symptom of this disease is an increase in vaginal discharge, which is characterized as white, thick, and either resembling curdled milk or cheese-like chunks.
