Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old. In recent days, the external genital area has been particularly itchy, and there is a significant amount of discharge. Now, urination causes pain. I am here to ask, what are the common symptoms of vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
There may be symptoms of vulvar itching, which becomes burning and painful. In severe cases, it can affect the urethra, leading to infections and symptoms of pain during urination. There may also be an increase in leukorrhea, making it thicker and more foul-smelling. A sense of heaviness and distension may occur in the lower abdomen, and lower back pain may also be present. Different causes can 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 appropriate treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
