Vaginitis Treatment - After Failing Self-Treatment, I Finally Visited a Gynecologist

Vaginitis is a disease that many people suffer from, and it is actually a disease that is as common as a cold, and it also has a high recurrence rate.

I too suffered from frequent vaginitis.

Due to the nature of the disease, I tried to manage it at home and took various nutritional supplements, but ultimately failed and received treatment for vaginitis at an obstetrics and gynecology clinic. This is my review.

At first, I didn't think much of it because it was just a little ticklish and uncomfortable feeling at the entrance to my vagina.

I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it would get better soon, but after a few days, I started to have more vaginal discharge than usual, so my underwear felt uncomfortable and it started to smell different than usual.

Even after going to the bathroom, I still feel uneasy...

The itchiness also got worse.

Those of you who have had vaginitis will probably relate.

 

I tried taking nutritional supplements and applying ointment, but... my self-treatment of vaginitis didn't work properly.

I decided that I would need to take antibiotics or some other medication, so I ended up going to an obstetrician/gynecologist.

 

To be honest, I was worried when I first got treatment.

This is my first time going to an OB/GYN...

Fortunately, the female doctor gave me kind advice and said that I needed to know the exact cause before treating vaginitis, so I got tested for vaginitis first.
The test was simpler than I thought.

The method involved collecting secretions from inside the vagina and checking for inflammation and infection.

There was some discomfort, but it wasn't too difficult.

​

After testing, I was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis.

This vaginitis is said to be characterized by a cold, bad smell, and itching.

 

 

 

For the treatment of vaginitis Prescribe antibiotics and vaginal suppositories I got it.

The vaginal suppository was a drug that was inserted into the vagina before going to bed at night to allow the medicinal ingredients to take effect.

​They said it could help relieve inflammation inside the vagina.

However, vaginitis is not cured immediately as soon as antibiotics and vaginal suppositories are used.

I checked various lifestyle habits.

First of all, doctors have different opinions about using feminine hygiene products.

Wash with water, use products, etc. It seems that there is no exact research yet.

I used to use a cleanser, but I was wondering if it would work, Temporarily suspend use of cleaning products i did it.

And I don't usually drink much water.

At the hospital It is important to drink plenty of water So these days, I've been intentionally drinking a lot of water! I've been told that I don't have to drink 1 or 2 liters of water a day, but I've been drinking it more often than usual.

And I usually pay attention to what I eat because of my blood sugar, but I pay more attention to it while I am being treated for vaginitis. Manage your diet I'm doing it!!

 

Managing my diet is really hard, but... I have to do it rather than suffer from blood sugar and cystitis...

 

and Lactobacillus acidophilus I'm definitely eating it too.

Originally, I only ate probiotics, but now I'm eating probiotics that are guaranteed to reach the vagina.

Although you can't see the effects of nutritional supplements with your own eyes, I think you'll feel the effects if you consistently take things like probiotics, so I'm going to keep taking them.

 

Even when using sanitary pads Be sure to check the ingredients of your menstrual product do.

In fact, there are so many organic sanitary pads, but 100% organic sanitary pads are so expensive that it is realistically difficult to continue purchasing them as they are products that are used every month.

So when I buy sanitary pads, I look for at least three things.

*Is the material pure cotton?

*Is it free from polymer absorbent?

To help absorption quickly Sanitary pads that use high molecular weight absorbent chemicals such as acrylic acid and polyacrylic acid. There are many companies that use this material for long periods of time. Causes menstrual cramps and vaginitis They say they do it.

That's why organic brands emphasize that they don't contain high molecular weight absorbents!

If you frequently experience itchiness or vaginal discharge, be sure to check the ingredients of the sanitary pad you are using!!

I don't know if the cause of vaginitis is my lifestyle, food, or sanitary pads, so I've improved everything I can.

You can check it like this.

 

Lastly, this is what the obstetrician/gynecologist said.

I thought I was cured of my vaginitis by taking medicine, but if it comes back again, it's not because I'm not managing it well, but because vaginitis is like a cold and you can get it again at any time if your immune system is low, so I shouldn't blame myself too much.

As a patient, I felt reassured by the empathetic and warm words of advice from the doctor, who told me that other women also have one or two of these symptoms, so I shouldn't worry too much unless it's a serious illness.

If you are suffering from vaginitis, I want to tell you that anyone can easily get it, so don't worry too much and just treat it when it happens.
