Patient's question:
I noticed that I frequently experience the sensation of itching in my external genitalia, but it doesn't happen often—it only occurs occasionally. However, it has been particularly painful recently. What are the symptoms of vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is often accompanied by symptoms such as yellow discharge, itching in the external genital area, or a bad odor. There are many pathogens that can cause vaginitis, such as trichomonas, Candida, bacteria, and fungi. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination of the discharge to diagnose the condition. After diagnosis, medication sensitive to the pathogen should be taken for treatment. Treatment usually requires a combination of oral and local medications. During treatment, personal hygiene should be maintained, underwear should be changed frequently, and sexual activity should be avoided to prevent mutual infection.During the treatment period, patients should follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular sleep schedule, participate in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health to keep themselves clean. This helps prevent bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
