Patient's question:
I am a 21-year-old female. Recently, when washing my underwear, I have been finding a lot of cheesy-looking discharge on them, and it smells very bad. I also feel that my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen is uncomfortable. Could you please tell me: What kind of ointment is generally used to treat vulvitis?Doctor's answer:
As you mentioned, this situation cannot be ruled out as being caused by vulvovaginitis. You can perform a routine vaginal discharge test and a drug sensitivity test to confirm the appropriate medication. Additionally, pay attention to local hygiene of the external genitalia, avoid using antibiotics and irritating foot bath products, and do not excessively scrub the vaginal area.Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
