Patient's question:
Female, 27 years old, last week, my husband accompanied me for a gynecological examination and learned that I have vaginitis. I have actually had uncomfortable, itchy, and uncomfortable symptoms before. Please ask: What are the hazards of vaginitis in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
Infantile vaginitis falls under the categories of "vaginal itching," "vaginal erosion," and "vaginal swelling" in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The onset is related to the frailty of internal organs and the transmission of damp-heat and parasitic pathogens. The general treatment principle is to clear heat, detoxify, kill parasites, reduce swelling, and relieve pain for damp-heat stagnation.The main symptoms include itching and burning in the vaginal area, restlessness, crying, disturbed sleep, viscous yellow vaginal discharge with a foul odor, frequent and urgent urination, dysuria, red tongue, thin yellow greasy coating. Treatment focuses on clearing heat and draining dampness, using modified Baimwei M formula. Medications include: dandelion, wild chrysanthemum, plantain (decocted in a bag), and each of berberine, purple cornflower, and atractylodes. The decoction is taken orally.
External application involves fumigation and washing with the following formula: cinnabar, white paper mulberry, berberine, and magnolia bark.
