Patient's question:
Female, 28 years old. Last week, my husband accompanied me for a gynecological examination and learned that I have vaginitis. I have actually had uncomfortable, itchy, and uncomfortable symptoms before. Please ask: What should I pay attention to when suffering from vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is commonly caused by bacterial vaginosis, fungal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, and atrophic vaginitis. Your condition may be fungal vaginitis. It is important to maintain external genital hygiene, change underwear frequently, boil the underwear, and expose it to sunlight for drying. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and also limit sweet foods. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular sleep patterns, take precautions against cold and keep the environment well-ventilated, consume light and soft foods, and drink plenty of warm water.
