Several forms of vaginal douching for four consecutive nights are appropriate here. Sample douches:- One teaspoon of tea tree oil in two cups of water.
- 1/4 cup of 3% antiseptic hydrogen peroxide mixed in two cups of water.
- Vaginal suppositories containing goldenseal.
- An acidophilus capsule can be inserted as a vaginal suppository, or the capsule opened into 2 cups of water and douched. Use of the capsule can be continued twice daily for 1 to 2 weeks.
- Grapefruit seed extract (10 to 20 drops in two cups of water) may also be used. Tea tree oil and grapefruit seed extract can be caustic to the skin and should be handled carefully and used in specified amounts.
Because there is no evidence for sexual transmission of VVC, routine treatment of male partners is unlikely to reduce recurrence. Other treatments include the application of a very weak vinegar douche or application of dilute tea tree oil solution.
