Patient's question:
I am a 34-year-old woman, and I went through menopause two years ago. However, recently I have been experiencing intense itching in my outer and vaginal areas, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Please advise: What should I do about the itching in my outer labia and the slight swelling of the left labia?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of symptoms, I believe this should be a moldy vaginitis. I suggest that after washing your underwear and pants, you must expose them to sunlight for drying. At the same time, you must clean the vaginal area thoroughly. Then, the patient needs to follow a disciplined diet, maintain regular sleep patterns, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a good mood, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
