Patient's question:
I am 27 years old this year. Recently, I have had a lot of itching in my private area, and my menstrual cycle is also irregular. Additionally, I have excessive vaginal discharge. Please ask: What should be noted when treating vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal inflammation should be treated in a formal hospital for follow-up, and active treatment should be provided after identifying the type of condition. Otherwise, do not use medication arbitrarily to avoid disrupting the normal internal environment of the vagina, which may lead to recurrent resistance to inflammation. Some types of vaginal inflammation require treatment for both sexual partners or spouses, as delayed treatment by close relatives or sexual partners can cause repeated infections for both parties, leading to chronic illness. During treatment, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited, or safer sex should be practiced using condoms to prevent further infection. Regular follow-up is necessary to evaluate the treatment effectiveness and prevent recurrence. Positively adjust your mindset to avoid excessive psychological burden and prevent the reluctance to seek medical care.
