Patient's question:
I have 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 causes vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is primarily caused by the transmission of pathogenic bacteria, leading to a recurrence of inflammatory responses in the vagina. Common pathogenic bacteria include fungi, trichomonas, and yeasts. Additionally, an increase in estrogen secretion in women and an imbalance in vaginal pH can also cause vaginitis. In daily life, patients should maintain a balanced intake of nutrients, engage in aerobic exercises to stay fit, and maintain a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
