Patient's question:
A 55-year-old woman's aunt said she felt unwell two days ago, so she went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said she had vaginitis. She didn't expect to get vaginitis at her age. So, what are the reasons for this? What causes vaginitis in the elderly?Doctor's answer:
The elderly suffer from urethritis, mainly due to neglecting personal hygiene. External cleansing agents can be used, combined with some anti-inflammatory drugs for oral auxiliary treatment. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and then adopt treatment methods based on the condition. There are many reasons for vaginitis, so specific examination is required to determine the cause.
