Patient's question:
I am a 26-year-old female who doesn't usually have much going on, but after having sex with my boyfriend, I always feel uncomfortable in my private area. Not only is the color of my discharge abnormal, but the smell is also very unpleasant. This issue has been troubling me for a long time. Could you please tell me: What are the symptoms of vulvitis?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of vulvitis include itching, pain, burning sensation, and even swelling of the external genital skin, as well as redness, erosion, and ulcers. In chronic cases, the skin may thicken, become rough, develop cracks, or even transform into lichenoid changes, all of which are caused by inflammation.Then, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to stay in a good mood and consume more light, soft, and liquid foods. Drinking plenty of water and eating more vegetables and fruits is also recommended.
