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. Why might I have a vaginal infection?Doctor's answer:
The causes of vaginitis can be several, possibly due to factors such as Candida, trichomoniasis, or an endocrine imbalance in the vaginal flora. Changes in hormones within the body can also lead to the occurrence of vaginitis. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the perineum and avoid contact with irritating items. Patients should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, and maintain a light diet while engaging in aerobic exercise. This can help boost the immune system and reduce the risk of infection.
