Patient's question:
I am a 29-year-old woman. Recently, when washing my underwear, I have been finding a lot of curd-like 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 habits are associated with vulvovaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis in young girls, young girls wearing open-bottomed pants, and the bad habit of sitting on the floor, make them easily susceptible to urine and fecal stains, industrial pollution, or pinworm infections, leading to vulvitis; some young mothers pay little attention to minor daily details, using the same towels and basins as their young daughters, washing their daughters' underwear together with their own. If the mother suffers from candidiasis or trichomoniasis, she can transmit the infection to her young daughter.
