Patient's question:
Female, 55 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. Please ask: What are the symptoms and treatments for gynecological inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Gynecological inflammation comes in many different types, such as vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. It generally manifests as increased vaginal discharge, changes in the color of the discharge (purulent or cottage cheese-like), local itching, bladder irritation symptoms (such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria), lower back pain, and discomfort in the lower abdomen. Since there are various causes of gynecological inflammation, it is recommended that you consult and undergo a thorough examination at a formal hospital's gynecological clinic for standardized treatment. Avoid self-medicating.
