5. Treatment of Vaginitis

Often, the condition clears up on its own, but sometimes medications can speed recovery. For example, doctors may prescribe anti-fungal medications for a yeast infection. Medications often come in the form of pessaries or creams to be applied inside and around the vagina. If the condition is due to hormonal changes associated with menopause, a doctor may prescribe supplementary estrogen to help prevent future issues.
