Patient's question:
Female, 56 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing severe itching in my external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Please ask: How should I deal with gynecological diseases?Doctor's answer:
For those who can be treated with medication or physical therapy, there is no need to worry, as the positive effects of active treatment are quite good. Gynecological inflammation primarily involves the vagina, cervix, and other areas, where many bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms are transmitted. If you develop gynecological inflammation, it is essential to visit a hospital promptly for follow-up, to identify the specific type of microorganism causing the infection, and to implement targeted treatment. At the same time, pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid sexual activity, bathe frequently, and change underwear often.During treatment, patients should follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular sleep schedule, participate in regular exercise, and focus on regulating physical and mental health to keep themselves clean. This helps prevent bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
