Patient's question:
Female, 55 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing intense itching in my external genitalia and vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Please ask: What should I do if I have a gynecological disease?Doctor's answer:
When suffering from gynecological diseases, it is essential to pay attention to personal hygiene. Wear 100% cotton underwear and breathable ones. Clean the vulva daily to ensure skin hygiene. Hang underwear in the sun for exposure. It is best for both partners to seek treatment together. Gynecological diseases are prone to recurrence, so it is crucial to undergo thorough treatment. Patients should visit a reputable Grade III-A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations based on their specific conditions. This will enable targeted treatment and facilitate a quicker recovery.
