Patient's question:
A 25-year-old female had an episode last year and was treated with medication after a hospital examination. The internal medication quickly controlled the condition. However, she has been experiencing discomfort in her private area recently, along with abnormal discharge and a strong odor. She asks: Is it normal to feel some stinging sensation when using a gel for vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
You don't need to be overly nervous; this is within the normal range of reactions. After using the gel, some high drug concentrations may be produced, which can cause irritating pain for patients with vaginal inflammation or cervicitis. During treatment, it's important to pay attention to vaginal hygiene and avoid sexual intercourse. Lastly, during treatment, patients should maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate their physical and mental health, and keep personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
