Patient's question:
I am a female, 29 years old this year. I have pain in the external genitalia, abnormal vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, and a rusty, stinging pain near the labia. I previously had vaginitis, which has now recurred. I used an antibacterial wash, but it didn't help. Please ask: How should I treat external genital pain and vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is best to go to a regular hospital for a leukorrhea test and gynecological examination. After a clear diagnosis, symptomatic treatment is more effective. If not treated correctly, self-medication can sometimes delay the condition and may cause dysbacteriosis. You should pay attention to hygiene in the external genital area and try to eat less spicy and irritating food. It is recommended to conduct a vaginal discharge test, bacterial culture of vaginal discharge, and drug sensitivity test. Based on the drug sensitivity test, choose appropriate medication. It is not advisable to self-medicate without a doctor's guidance.
