What to use to flush fungal vaginitis

Fungal vaginitis can generally be flushed with sodium bicarbonate solution, boric acid solution, povidone-iodine solution, potassium permanganate solution, chlorhexidine acetate solution, etc. It is recommended to seek medical treatment in time, actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment, and choose the appropriate flushing solution under the guidance of the doctor.

1. Sodium bicarbonate solution

Sodium bicarbonate solution is an alkaline solution that can change the acid-base environment in the vagina and inhibit the growth of mold. Fungal vaginitis is usually caused by an imbalance of vaginal flora, leading to excessive growth of mold. Douching with sodium bicarbonate solution can help relieve symptoms such as vulvar itching and increased leucorrhea. Common sodium bicarbonate solutions include sodium bicarbonate lotion, sodium bicarbonate rinse, etc.

2. Boric acid solution

Boric acid solution has antibacterial and astringent effects and is suitable for auxiliary treatment of fungal vaginitis. Boric acid solution can reduce the inflammatory response of the vaginal mucosa, relieve vulvar burning sensation and abnormal secretions. When using boric acid solution for flushing, attention needs to be paid to the concentration to avoid excessive concentration irritating the mucosa. Common boric acid solutions include boric acid washing solution, boric acid rinsing solution, etc.

3. Povidone-iodine solution

Povidone-iodine solution is a broad-spectrum antibacterial solution that has a certain inhibitory effect on mold. Povidone-iodine solution can be used for irrigation treatment of fungal vaginitis and can reduce the number of mold in the vagina. When using povidone-iodine solution, you need to pay attention to allergic reactions. If symptoms such as skin redness and itching occur, you should stop using it immediately. Common povidone-iodine solutions include povidone-iodine lotion, povidone-iodine rinse, etc.

4. Potassium permanganate solution

Potassium permanganate solution has oxidative disinfection effect and can be used as an auxiliary treatment for fungal vaginitis. Potassium permanganate solution can kill some molds and reduce vaginal inflammation. It is necessary to pay attention to the dilution ratio when using it to avoid damage to the mucous membranes due to excessive concentration. Common potassium permanganate solutions include potassium permanganate lotion, potassium permanganate rinse, etc.

5. Chlorhexidine acetate solution

Chlorhexidine acetate solution is an antibacterial solution that has a certain inhibitory effect on mold. Chlorhexidine acetate solution can be used for irrigation treatment of fungal vaginitis and can relieve vulvar itching and abnormal leucorrhea. When using chlorhexidine acetate solution, you need to be careful not to use it for a long time to avoid destroying the normal vaginal flora. Common chlorhexidine acetate solutions include chlorhexidine acetate lotion, chlorhexidine acetate rinse, etc.

Patients with fungal vaginitis should pay attention to keeping the vulva clean and dry in daily life and avoid wearing tight and airtight underwear. The intake of high-sugar foods should be reduced in the diet, and appropriate supplementation of probiotics can help maintain the balance of vaginal flora. Sexual intercourse should be avoided during treatment to prevent cross-infection. Change underwear regularly and wash and disinfect with boiling water. Avoid using irritating lotions to clean the vulva. If symptoms persist or worsen, follow-up visits should be made in a timely manner to adjust the treatment plan.
