Patient's question:
I am a 22-year-old female, and I have been menopausal for the past two years. However, recently I have been experiencing intense itching in my external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Could you please advise on how to treat vulvitis in women?Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis is further divided into cervical erosion, cervical hypertrophy, cervical polyps, cervical glandular cysts, and cervical canal mucosal inflammation. It is necessary to confirm the specific diagnosis and provide symptomatic treatment. Sometimes, medication alone may not be effective, and physical therapy is often required in conjunction with medication. In traditional Chinese medicine, gynecological inflammation is classified into types such as damp-heat with heat-toxin, damp-heat with blood stasis accumulation, blood clots and delayed stagnation, and Chong-Ren deficiency with cold. The most common type is damp-heat with heat-toxin.Then, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
