For the treatment of vaginal and cervical infection the doctor may recommend the use of antimicrobials in the form of a tablet, cream or lotion to apply directly to the intimate area.
The treatment time varies between 6 to 10 days and in addition it is necessary to have good intimate hygiene by properly washing only the outer region of the vagina, preferably using only clean water. It is also recommended to wear cotton underwear and not have intimate contact during treatment so that the affected tissues can heal.
