Does the examination for vaginitis need to look at the vaginal opening?

Patient's question:

Female, 26 years old, last week, my husband accompanied me for a gynecological examination and learned that I have vaginitis. I have actually had uncomfortable, itchy symptoms before. Please ask: Is it necessary to examine the vaginal opening for vaginitis?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, I mainly consider the possibility of vaginitis. Generally, doctors will first conduct a preliminary examination, followed by a routine examination of vaginal discharge. However, if you choose to keep your secret and prove to her that he respects your privacy, I hope my response will be helpful to you. Please evaluate my response, dear. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted 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 daily.
