Can I use baking soda to clean my vaginal candidiasis?

It is usually not recommended to use baking soda to wash fungal vaginitis. Baking soda is an alkaline substance. Excessive use may disrupt the normal acid-base balance of the vagina and lead to more serious problems. When treating fungal vaginitis, you should choose the appropriate treatment method instead of using baking soda at will.

Vaginal candidiasis is a common vaginal infection caused by Candida albicans. Symptoms include white discharge, itching, burning sensation, and vaginal inflammation. Treatments include topical and oral antifungal medications. In most cases, your doctor will prescribe appropriate medication based on your specific symptoms.

Although baking soda has the effect of disinfection and sterilization, it needs to be used with caution. The vagina itself has a certain acid-base balance. Excessive use of baking soda may disrupt this balance, causing the death of probiotics, and then inducing bacterial infection or other vaginal problems.

The correct treatment is to use antifungal drugs prescribed by doctors and use them strictly according to the doctor's instructions. At the same time, keeping the vagina clean and dry, avoiding using too much bath gel and detergent, and wearing breathable underwear can help prevent and relieve candidal vaginitis.

For candidal vaginitis, you should see a doctor as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice to avoid blindly using alkaline substances such as baking soda. Maintaining good living habits and hygiene habits will help prevent and reduce the occurrence of vaginal infections. If the condition does not improve or recurs, you should see a doctor in time and receive further examination and treatment. I hope every female friend can stay healthy and stay away from the troubles of vaginitis.
