Patient's question:
I am a 42-year-old woman who has recently been experiencing discomfort. Gradually, the discomfort has worsened. Please ask: What are the main symptoms of acute vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Acute vaginitis refers to acute infection caused by certain pathogens. The pathogens that cause the infection vary, and all types of acute vaginitis present symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, frequent urination, urinary urgency, and dysuria. The key difference between acute vaginitis and chronic vaginitis is the presence of varying degrees of itching, burning, or pain in the external genitalia, which may be accompanied by fever during the acute phase. For your symptoms, active treatment is necessary to eliminate predisposing factors. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia, and avoid scratching. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, which can be very effective. Change underwear frequently or clean it with warm water, and never wash it with other clothes to prevent cross-infection.
