Patient's question:
Usually, there's not much going on, but every time I have sex with my boyfriend, I feel uncomfortable in my private area. Not only is the color of my discharge abnormal, but the smell is also very unpleasant. This issue has been troubling me for a long time. Please ask: Where is it best to see a doctor for vulvitis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis primarily manifests as itching, pain, or a burning sensation in the external genital area, worsening during walking, exertion, cycling, sexual intercourse, or urination. Patients with vaginitis exhibit redness and swelling of the skin, increasing exudate, scratches, and sometimes the formation of ulcers, with skin breakdown or clustered blisters, papules, or eczema. The course of the disease is often prolonged, leading to thickened, rough skin with color changes, and even recurrent cracking. It is commonly accompanied by an increase in vaginal discharge, appearing yellow and purulent. Active treatment can completely eliminate predisposing factors. Maintaining constant cleanliness and dryness of the external genital area, and preventing scratching, are effective measures. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, which yield excellent results. Change underwear frequently or use warm water for cleansing. Do not mix with other clothing to prevent cross-infection.
