Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing intense itching in my external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Please ask: Which method can help me stay away from gynecological diseases?Doctor's answer:
Stay away from gynecological diseases first requires ensuring safe and regular sexual life, because some gynecological diseases are caused by unhealthy sexual behavior due to local infection. It is also necessary to use vaginal douches as little as possible to avoid disrupting the vaginal flora and causing abnormal pH values. It is best to change underwear frequently, preferably loose and made of cotton. Finally, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain regular sleep schedules, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
