Patient's question:
Female, 23 years old, I have vaginitis, itchy severely down there, especially itchy in the morning every day. I have gone to the hospital and been prescribed oral medication. At first it was effective, but then it started itching again. How do I get candidal vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Neglecting hygiene and physical weakness can both lead to bacterial irritation in the external genital area of women, causing vulvitis, such as cervical or vaginal inflammation. Wearing non-breathable nylon underwear can cause excessive vaginal discharge, stimulating the external genital area. Using unclean sanitary pads or toilet paper for rinsing the external genital area can also lead to vulvar infections. These factors create conditions for bacterial growth and reproduction in the external genital area. 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, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water in their daily lives.
