Patient's question:
Female, 30 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing intense itching in the external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Please ask: How should gynecological diseases be treated to be effective?Doctor's answer:
Medication treatment is required unless it is a very severe case, in which case laser or cryotherapy methods may be used. During the treatment period, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. Medication should not be taken during menstruation because face-to-face consultations and prescriptions cannot be provided. It is recommended to use medication and treatment under the guidance of a doctor, preferably with both partners undergoing treatment simultaneously. Lastly, during the treatment period, patients need to follow a regulated diet, maintain a regular sleep schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
