Patient's question:
I noticed that I frequently experience the sensation of itching in my external genitalia, but it doesn't happen often—it only occurs occasionally. However, recently it has been particularly painful. What could be causing vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
There are several causes of vaginitis, but generally, women develop vaginitis due to prolonged sitting. Some women work sitting in front of computers or behind counters, but in this case, the female genital area can easily breed bacteria. If it's not ventilated, it can also interfere with women's health, and bacterial infections can easily lead to vaginitis.Regarding hygiene practices, women should naturally pay attention to personal hygiene, but excessive cleaning is also not advisable. Some women may decide to use soap or other cleaning solutions to wash the external genital area. If this is done for a long time, it may also lead to vaginitis in women.
