What are the misunderstandings about vaginitis?

Vaginitis is one of the common diseases among female friends. The harm caused by vaginitis to patients is also quite considerable. However, since many people do not know much about vaginitis, they have fallen into misunderstandings about the treatment of vaginitis. So what are the misunderstandings about vaginitis? Next, let’s take a look at the misunderstandings about vaginitis.

Misconceptions about vaginitis:

1. Long-term use of various lotions to clean the lower body and rinse the vagina.

Some women use various lotions to clean their lower body for a long time, and some women even use tap water to wash their vagina when bathing. These are not advisable. The female vagina is an acidic environment with a self-cleaning effect. Long-term use of various lotions to wash the vagina will kill the vaginal bacteria that are beneficial to the body, reduce local resistance, and increase the chance of infection.

Second, buy medicine blindly based on product advertisements.

There are many types of vaginitis, and different types of vaginitis use different medications. Therefore, before buying medicine, patients should understand the type of disease they suffer from and choose the right medicine. If they are not sure, they should go to the hospital for treatment. The doctor will choose sensitive drugs for treatment based on the infected pathogens 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.

3. Unauthorized and excessive use of antibiotics.

Many patients start taking antibiotics as soon as they hear they have vaginitis. In fact, the direct consequence of excessive use of antibiotics is that the bacteria develop drug resistance, destroy the balance between vaginal flora, lead to vigorous fungal growth, and the treatment cycle is constantly extended, and the disease cannot be effectively treated. Especially when antibiotics are used for fungal infections, the symptoms of infection will be aggravated.

4. Simply rely on Chinese patent medicine for treatment.

Most gynecological Chinese patent medicines have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and can achieve good therapeutic effects, but they are slow to take effect and not very targeted. They are generally used as auxiliary treatments for chronic gynecological inflammation and cannot be used as the first choice of treatment. In the case of acute trichomonas, fungi, and bacterial infections, anti-trichomoniasis and antifungal symptomatic drugs should still be the first choice. Using Chinese patent medicine blindly may delay the condition. When using Chinese medicine for treatment, it is necessary to treat the disease according to the syndrome differentiation. This is the only way to better treat the disease.

5. Abuse of vaginal suppositories.

After getting vaginitis, some suppositories can better treat inflammation, but don't think that you need to use suppositories because you have vaginitis. As long as it is inflammation, you should use suppositories. If you don't treat it according to the cause, the condition will become more serious. In fact, for example. In case of acute trichomonas or fungal infection, you cannot use corrosive vaginal suppositories for treating cervicitis, papilloma, genital warts, etc., because using these suppositories will cause discomfort, increased vaginal secretions, epithelial tissue shedding, vulvar irritation and other symptoms. Using them during acute vaginitis can promote the spread of inflammation and aggravate the condition.

6. Stop taking the medicine once the symptoms disappear.

Most people stop taking medication after their symptoms are relieved, but after a few days, they feel uncomfortable and take a few more pills, causing vaginitis to recur. In fact, there is a strict course of treatment for vaginitis. If you do not follow the course of medication, the infection will rebound again; irregular medication will also form drug resistance, making treatment more difficult.

7. After suffering from vaginitis, the couple did not seek joint treatment as required by the doctor.

Trichomonas vaginitis and fungal vaginitis can be transmitted between husband and wife. Therefore, if the woman is sick, the man should also go to the hospital for examination and treatment. Some men are healthy carriers of the bacteria, even if they are not sick. In addition, sexual intercourse should be prohibited during acute infection. After the symptoms improve, condoms should be worn during sexual intercourse to prevent cross infection.

The above content introduces the misunderstandings about vaginitis. Do you know about the misunderstandings about vaginitis? So once you have vaginitis, after you have recovered from the disease. In order to prevent recurrence, you should know that the weakly acidic environment of the vagina can maintain the self-cleaning function of the vagina, develop good hygiene habits, and avoid unclean sexual life.
