Patient's question:
Female, 53 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing intense itching in the external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the discharge also has a strong odor. My question is: If I've given birth and have a gynecological infection, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, it's just a bit of mild inflammation, which doesn't require treatment. Pay attention to keeping warm, especially during your period. Eat less spicy and irritating foods, and rinse the external genital area with warm water daily. If there's no itching and the discharge is normal, medication is not recommended. Pay attention to hygiene and wear cotton-lined loose underwear. That's fine. It's best to wear cotton-lined loose underwear. Sex is a two-person matter, requiring foreplay and mutual cooperation. Once you start to feel comfortable, there will be lubrication.
