70% of women suffer from vulvitis mainly because they do not pay attention to personal hygiene or have poor immunity. Choosing the correct medication under the guidance of a doctor can quickly alleviate it, but the correct treatment method must be chosen.
How to treat vulvitis?
Firstly, vulvitis can be divided into various types, mainly caused by different types of pathogens. Patients should immediately go to the hospital for corresponding examinations to determine the cause of vulvitis. Under the guidance of a doctor, they should choose medication and never go to the hospital to purchase medication themselves. This not only does not improve the disease, but also delays the optimal treatment time. For patients with mild vulvitis, only medication is needed for treatment. For severe vulvitis, laser or freezing methods can be chosen, but the inflammation recurs.
What are the commonly used drugs for vulvitis?
1. Vaginal cleaning solution
Patients with severe conditions choose vaginal cleaning solutions for treatment. Currently, vaginal cleaning solutions are available on the market, with the most common being traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine cleaning solutions. The disadvantages of different cleaning solutions also vary. Patients must choose a suitable solution based on their own situation and severity of the condition, under the guidance of a doctor.
2. Potassium permanganate solution
When suffering from vulvitis, patients may experience severe itching. At this time, they can choose a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution to clean the vulva, but it must be used under the guidance of a professional doctor. High concentration of potassium permanganate solution can damage the vaginal mucosa, worsen the condition, and even bring adverse consequences.
3. Erythromycin ointment
Almost all inflammations can be treated with erythromycin ointment, and vulvitis is no exception. Patients with vulvitis can apply erythromycin ointment to the vulva on time to relieve itching and dryness. However, when using it, the ointment should not be directly applied to the wound area, nor should it touch the eyes, mouth, and nasal mucosa.
4. Anti-inflammatory drugs
If the symptoms are not very serious, just choose anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor. But before taking anti-inflammatory drugs, you should go to the hospital for corresponding examinations.
Kind reminder
Female friends should pay attention to personal hygiene, choose high-quality sanitary napkins, change them every two hours, and pay attention to hygiene before and after sexual activity. Avoid eating spicy and stimulating food, and do not use vaginal cleaning fluid to clean the external genitalia indiscriminately. Avoid prolonged sitting and choose loose and breathable underwear.
