What are the medicines for treating vaginal candidiasis?

Vaginitis is a very common gynecological disease in life. For patients with vaginitis, being able to receive timely treatment is the key. With the continuous development and progress of medicine, there are many ways to treat vaginitis, such as drug treatment, etc. Generally, the effect of treating vaginitis is relatively good. So which drugs can effectively treat vaginitis? Let us give a detailed introduction to this issue below.

Western medicine treatment: Systemic medication metronidazole, also known as metronidazole, can be given as a single dose to patients with early vaginitis and can also 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 medication in the vagina, so systemic medication is convenient. Gastrointestinal reactions are occasionally seen after taking the medicine, such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, etc.

In addition, patients with vaginitis may occasionally experience headaches, rashes, leukopenia, etc. Once discovered, the drug should be stopped immediately. Metronidazole can enter the fetus through the placenta and can be excreted through breast milk. When taken in early pregnancy, the teratogenic effect on the fetus has not yet been ruled out, so it is not appropriate to use it in early pregnancy and during lactation. Local medication can also achieve good results. Metronidazole is inserted into the vagina once a night. If lactic acid or acetic acid is rinsed first to improve the vaginal environment, the efficacy will be improved. Because trichomoniasis vaginitis often recurs after menstruation, when the trichomoniasis test is negative after treatment, the leucorrhea should still be checked after each menstruation. If it is negative after 3 tests, it can be called cured. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment.

If the test result of trichomoniasis after treatment of vaginitis is negative, the treatment should be continued for one course after the next menstruation, with the same method as before, to consolidate the 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 is trichomoniasis in the prostatic fluid. If positive, they need to be treated at the same time.
