The treatment of gynecological inflammation requires selecting medications according to the specific type of inflammation. Common gynecological inflammations include bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, and trichomonas vaginitis.
For bacterial vaginosis, doctors may prescribe antibiotics such as metronidazole or clindamycin; for vulvovaginal candidiasis, antifungal medications like fluconazole or clotrimazole may be recommended; while trichomonas vaginitis is usually treated with metronidazole.
In addition, traditional Chinese patent medicines such as Jinji Capsules and Fuke Qianjin Tablets, which have effects of softening masses and dispersing nodules, clearing heat, and eliminating dampness, are applicable for various types of gynecological inflammation. For vaginal infections and cervicitis, in addition to oral medications, vaginal suppositories such as metronidazole suppositories, Xiamei suppositories, or tinidazole suppositories may also be used. Sitz baths with warm water combined with potassium permanganate solution can help reduce inflammation and fight infection.
Patients should be aware that medications must be used under the guidance of a doctor; self-purchasing and self-medication are strongly discouraged. Maintaining good personal hygiene and avoiding excessive or unclean sexual activity can help prevent gynecological inflammations.
