Patient's question:
Female, 52 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing intense itching in the outer labia and vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Please advise: What should I do if I have a gynecological infection?Doctor's answer:
Neglecting hygiene during menstruation, sexual activity during menstruation, not cleaning the lower parts before and after sexual intercourse, infrequent changes of underwear, and wearing tight pants can all lead to gynecological inflammation. Women are naturally of a yin constitution, and if they catch a cold, it is very easy to cause gynecological diseases. Therefore, during winter, it is important to pay attention to preventing colds, especially the feet, as coldness often originates from the feet. This is to prevent frequent miscarriages. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal Grade A hospital for systematic and standardized examinations as soon as possible based on their own condition to receive symptomatic treatment and recover quickly.
