Patient's question:
I am 25 years old. Recently, I have been experiencing pain in my lower abdomen and soreness in my waist. Additionally, I've been feeling discomfort and irritation in my private area, with itching and burning, especially in the afternoon. Could you please advise on how to treat vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
As you mentioned, this type of situation is commonly seen with symptoms caused by bacterial vaginosis. Symptomatic solutions can be used to rinse the external genitalia and vagina, followed by the use of symptomatic medications in the vagina for treatment. Attention should also be paid to local hygiene of the external genitalia, and new, sterilized underwear should be changed daily. Lastly, during the treatment period, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate their physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
