Patient's question:
Female, 32 years old. Recently, she has found that her private area is always itchy and feels hot, as if it were on fire. Is this a sign of inflammation? Please ask: What harm can abnormal vaginal discharge odor cause?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering you may have a vaginal infection, it is recommended to undergo a routine vaginal discharge examination to confirm the specific type of vaginal infection for symptomatic treatment. Maintain external genital hygiene and keep them clean and dry. Avoid scratching, hot water bathing, and using soap. When infected, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable and loose-fitting. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods. Temporarily refrain from sexual activity until fully recovered. Abnormal vaginal discharge is a common gynecological condition. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity and pay close attention to cleanliness during treatment. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
