Patient's question:
I am a 56-year-old woman who has noticed this symptom for a long time, but the condition has not improved. Could you please tell me what kind of inflammation usually causes external itching?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the symptoms of vulvar itching and yellow, viscous vaginal discharge confirm that you have contracted vaginitis. Specifically, you can go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge examination to diagnose the condition accurately, which will lead to better treatment outcomes. During the treatment period, you should abstain from sexual activity, avoid spicy foods, and change your underwear daily, exposing them to sunlight for disinfection. Additionally, 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 stay in a good mood, eat more light, soft, and easy-to-digest foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
