Patient's question:
Female, 31 years old. Recently, she has been feeling constant pain in her lower abdomen and soreness in her waist. Additionally, she has been experiencing discomfort in her private area, with symptoms of itching and burning, especially in the afternoon, which makes her feel extremely uncomfortable. She asks: What could be the reason for getting gynecological inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Common types of vaginitis and their secretory characteristics: Trichomoniasis vaginitis has thin, purulent, yellow-green, foamy discharge with a foul odor. Bacterial vaginosis has homogeneous, thin, white discharge with a fishy odor. Aerobic vaginitis is characterized by thin, purulent discharge that is yellow or yellow-green, sometimes foamy, with an odor but not fishy. Vulvovaginal candidiasis, also known as yeast vaginitis, has discharge that is curd-like or cottage cheese-like. The female reproductive tract has relatively complete natural protective functions in terms of anatomical characteristics, physiological superpowers, and local immune systems. The homeostasis of the vaginal microecological environment is maintained by a normal flora with lactobacilli as the dominant population and a balanced relationship with the host, which is constantly preserved. The normal flora interact, restrict, and exclude each other, collectively maintaining the stable and balanced vaginal environment.
