What medication is used for fungal vaginitis?

Mycotic vaginitis, clinically known as vulvovaginal candidiasis, can be treated with various medications, primarily categorized into oral and topical formulations. Among oral antifungal medications, fluconazole capsules and itraconazole capsules are commonly used. They effectively inhibit and kill Candida albicans, thereby relieving symptoms. These are particularly suitable for patients who are sexually inactive, or those with complicated conditions or poor responses to topical treatments alone. Additionally, topical antifungal agents such as nystatin vaginal tablets and clotrimazole suppositories can be inserted deep into the vagina under medical guidance to effectively inhibit and eliminate the pathogen. All the aforementioned medications should be used under a physician's supervision. Self-medication should be avoided to prevent adverse consequences. Moreover, during treatment, patients should maintain good personal hygiene and avoid sexual intercourse to promote recovery.
