Patient's question:
A 34-year-old woman has recently been experiencing discomfort in her lower abdomen and occasional abnormal itching. Her vaginal discharge has also increased recently. After visiting a hospital, the doctor diagnosed her with vaginitis. What symptoms indicate that one has vaginitis? What are the symptoms of vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis primarily manifests as an itchy sensation in the vaginal area, and the itching sensation gradually intensifies as the symptoms worsen. As the disease progresses, there may also be a burning and painful sensation, along with bleeding during urination. For more severe cases, symptoms may include broken outer vaginal tissues and irregular bleeding. Intercourse may also become painful, and the longer the condition is left untreated, the more pronounced the symptoms become.
