Patient's question:
Female, 19 years old. My daughter has no sexual activity, and I am also quite attentive to her hygiene. However, recently the young girl has been experiencing vulvar itching, which has affected her studies and caused her great distress. Please ask: How can one generally prevent gynecological inflammation in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Common types of vaginitis in clinical diagnosis and their secretory characteristics:Trichomoniasis: Thin, purulent, yellow-green, foamy discharge with a foul odor.
Bacterial vaginosis: Homogeneous, thin, white discharge with a fishy odor.
Aerobic vaginitis: Typical characteristics include thin, purulent discharge that is yellow or yellow-green, sometimes foamy, with an odor but not a fishy smell.
Candidal vulvovaginitis: Discharge appears like cottage cheese or curd-like.
It is recommended to consult a gynecologist who takes vaginal secretions with a cotton swab for a routine vaginal discharge test and prescribes medication accordingly. Microecological therapy combining external hygiene, vaginal medication, and systemic medication can be chosen.
