Patient's question:
A 21-year-old woman has been taught by her mother since childhood to pay attention to personal hygiene, frequently clean the vaginal area, and expose her underwear to the sun. Even so, over the past two days, she has been feeling that her discharge is yellow and has an odor. She wonders if it might be vaginitis and wants to know if there are any early signs of vaginitis. What are the signs of vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
When vaginitis occurs in its early stages, symptoms such as itching in the lower body and a significant increase in vaginal discharge are typically present. This phenomenon generally represents the main symptoms of vaginitis. As vaginitis worsens, there may also be a burning and stinging sensation during urination, and even symptoms like external vaginal bleeding and more severe itching, which can make women feel restless and uncomfortable. Treating vaginitis should primarily involve taking and applying anti-inflammatory medications.
