Patient's question:
Female patient, 28 years old, my wife came to see me. She had had some sexual activity. After returning to China, she experienced vulvar itching and an increase in leukorrhea. Is this a sexually transmitted disease?Doctor's answer:
The main route of transmission for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is through sexual contact. After your partner visited for a visit and had sexual activity, they experienced increased vaginal discharge and itching of the external genitalia. This is likely caused by vaginitis and is unrelated to STDs. It is recommended to visit the gynecology department of a Grade A hospital for a examination of secretions to determine the nature of the vaginitis and provide symptomatic treatment. In addition to promptly treating the increased vaginal discharge, friends with the condition should maintain a positive attitude in facing the disease. Only in this way can their immunity and confidence in fighting the disease be significantly improved. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care and monitor changes in their symptoms, believing that this will definitely drive away the increased vaginal discharge.
