Patient's question:
Female, 54 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing severe itching in the external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the discharge also has a strong odor. Please ask: What are the general symptoms of gynecological inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it's possible that you may not only have vaginitis but also a urinary tract infection. I recommend that you get a urinalysis done, as you have symptoms of lower back pain. If the lower back pain is caused by a urinary tract infection, it's important to actively treat the infection. If it's not treated promptly, it could potentially develop into nephritis. There are many methods for treating diseases, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach also differs. Therefore, it's necessary for you to visit a professional hospital as soon as possible for detailed testing so that the appropriate treatment can be administered.
