Patient's question:
Female, I have been menopausal for the past two years, but recently I have been experiencing severe itching in the external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the discharge also has a strong odor. Please ask: What causes vulvitis?Doctor's answer:
Poor hygiene during menstruation, sexual transmission, activities like ice skating or taking a bath with a tub can all transmit vulvitis. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a detailed examination. Medication should be used to target the pathogen. Local medication treatment is advised. Avoid sexual intercourse to prevent irritation, and maintain good vulvar hygiene by changing underwear frequently. Cotton underwear is preferable. Avoid using sanitary pads. We sincerely wish you a speedy recovery. Additionally, for gynecological patients during treatment, dietary conditions and care are also crucial. Patients must pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm. Thank you.
