Patient's question:
Female, twenty-four years old, recently discovered that her private area has a strong odor and excessive discharge after having sex with her boyfriend, and the color is also abnormal. Please ask: How should increased leukorrhea and external genital itching be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it appears to be vaginitis caused by gynecological inflammation, which requires oral anti-inflammatory medication for treatment. Oral metronidazole can help resolve this. It is recommended to use warm water to rinse the external genitalia in the coming days. Pay attention to hygiene and maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia. Changing underwear frequently or boiling it for washing can make a significant difference. A light diet, drinking plenty of water, and consuming more vegetables while avoiding spicy foods will aid in the recovery of inflammation. For patients with increased vaginal discharge, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also necessary to maintain proper dietary habits in daily life to replenish the body's nutrients.
