Patient's question:
Female, 23 years old, I have vaginitis, it's very itchy down there, especially itchy every morning. I have already gone to the hospital and been prescribed oral medication. At first, it was effective, but then it started itching again. What are the symptoms of vaginitis? Is it contagious?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of vaginitis include increased vaginal discharge, foul-smelling discharge, and external genital itching, which are common characteristics of various types of vaginitis in clinical diagnosis. However, different types of vaginitis may exhibit varying states of vaginal discharge and degrees of external genital itching. When vaginitis affects the urethra, symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, and urinary pain may also occur. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a vaginal discharge test and ultrasound examination to determine which type of inflammation it is. Then, symptomatic treatment can be administered. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to sexual hygiene.
