During treatment, abstain from sexual activity and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
1. General treatment: Active treatment can eliminate susceptibility factors. Keep the external genitalia clean and dry, avoid scratching. Sexual activity should be avoided during the treatment period. Spicy and irritating foods should be avoided.
2. Change vaginal pH: The most suitable pH value for Candida growth is 5.5. Therefore, rinsing the external genitalia and vagina with alkaline solution can change the acidity of the vagina, which can inhibit the growth and reproduction of yeast. Use a 2% to 4% solution of baking soda to flush the vagina 1 to 2 times a day for 2 weeks per course of treatment. After rinsing, dry the external genitalia to keep it dry and inhibit the growth of Candida.
3. Vaginal medication: Use some medications for treatment.
Dietotherapy for the treatment of vaginitis:
1. Eat yogurt containing rich active acidophilus bacteria, such as yogurt with bifidobacterium and soy oligosaccharides, which can promote the growth and reproduction of beneficial bacteria in the body and inhibit the survival of harmful bacteria.
2. Use cinnamon and garlic juice: Using these two foods as seasonings can fight infection and kill Candida albicans that cause urinary tract infections.
3. Eat foods with complex carbohydrates: Whole grains, whole wheat, brown rice, and vegetables are digested slowly and do not promote the growth of yeast.
4. Antioxidants are never too late. Eat foods rich in antioxidants to enhance immunity and anti-infection, such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and trace elements zinc, iron, magnesium, copper, and selenium, which are antioxidants; some foods such as grapes, bell peppers, bitter gourd, tomatoes, mustard, and cauliflower, as well as herbs such as turmeric and ginkgo biloba, contain flavonoids, lycopene, polyphenols, and anthocyanins, which have strong antioxidant effects.
However, try to avoid foods rich in monosaccharides. Candida albicans reproduces by monosaccharides, so avoid foods rich in monosaccharides and high-yeast foods such as alcoholic beverages, sucrose, molasses, beets, peanuts, cheese, dried fruits, potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, and other high-sugar foods.
