What to use for vaginal inflammation

Different types of vaginal inflammation require different treatments. Local medication combined with systemic medication is required. Patients with trichomoniasis vaginitis may have multiple sites of trichomoniasis infection in the urethra, paraurethral glands, and Bartholin's glands at the same time. Systemic medication is required to cure this disease, and vaginal douching should be avoided. The main treatment drugs are nitroimidazole drugs.

For patients taking metronidazole, avoid breastfeeding within 12-24 hours after taking the medication, and for patients taking tinidazole, avoid breastfeeding within 3 days after taking the medication.
