Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I've been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. What could be the reason for the itching around the vaginal opening after urination?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is likely caused by infant vaginal inflammation. The baby's vaginal development is still immature, and their resistance is weaker. Moreover, the vaginal opening is very close to the anal opening. Wiping from the anus towards the vaginal opening after using the toilet with paper can easily lead to bacterial invasion of the vagina. Additionally, young girls wearing open-bottom pants sometimes like to sit on the ground to play, which can also easily introduce bacteria into the vagina, causing vaginal inflammation. Once yellow discharge is found in the baby's underwear, active anti-inflammatory treatment should be initiated. A drug sensitivity test can be performed to select a sensitive antibiotic for treatment. At the same time, it is important to maintain good external genital hygiene—clean the area with warm water daily. Gradually, it will improve.
