Patient's question:
I used to have itchy symptoms and felt some swelling in the private area. Later, I had two menstrual periods where bleeding occurred before the periods were irregular. Now, I feel like I haven't fully recovered. Which gynecologist is better to see?Doctor's answer:
Itching of the external genitalia may indicate a gynecological vaginal inflammation. If the menstrual cycle is irregular, it could be due to endocrine disorders. A routine vaginal discharge test should be conducted. If vaginal inflammation is detected, medication should be applied vaginally for anti-inflammatory treatment. A test for six sex hormones should be performed. If endocrine disorders are present, oral estrogen-progestogen sequential therapy is needed to regulate the menstrual cycle. During ordinary days, pay attention to hygiene of the external genitalia and during the menstrual period. Eat more vegetables and fruits. Avoid excessive consumption of spicy and irritating foods.
