Patient's question:
Symptoms resembling gynecological issues: The initial symptom was a slight pain between the vagina and anus, which I thought was due to friction from walking and did not pay much attention to. The symptom persisted for about two to three weeks. However, in the past week, the condition has worsened, with small cracks between the vagina and anus, causing pain and slight peeling. Additionally, in the past week, there has been an increase in vaginal discharge, itching, and yellowish stains on underwear. Today, I visited a proctology department, and the doctor said there were no issues with the rectum or anus, suggesting I should see a gynecologist. Are these all gynecological symptoms? Are they serious? What kind of treatment is generally required? Especially, what is the cause of those small cracks?Doctor's answer:
From your description, there seems to be a consideration of gynecological inflammation. It can cause local pain, itching, and other symptoms. Guideline suggestions: It is recommended to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination and check the condition of vaginal discharge. Determine whether the vaginitis is caused by a fungal infection or a bacterial infection, and provide additional treatment. For patients with increased vaginal discharge, in addition to symptomatic treatment, they should also pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest and absorb nutrients. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you!
