Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on. I haven't had sex with my husband recently, and I usually clean my private area and underwear. But suddenly, I started experiencing itching in my private area, and my discharge is yellow and abundant. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
The disease of vulvitis has a particularly high incidence rate. For such a condition, regardless of the measures taken, active cooperation in treatment should be maintained. When treating vulvitis, extra attention to hygiene care of the vulva is necessary. Vulvitis is caused by pathogens or exposure to various adverse stimuli, leading to inflammation of the vulva. It can also be a secondary complication of vaginal infections, urinary tract diseases, anal or rectal diseases, or systemic illnesses, or it may manifest as part of the inflammatory process of certain vulvar conditions. Clinically, it presents as itching, pain, burning sensation, swelling, redness, discharge, or ulcers in the vulvar skin. When patients face gynecological issues, we should promptly apply symptomatic treatment principles and avoid delaying medical consultation. If gynecological conditions persist despite treatment, it is essential to promptly reassess and adjust the treatment plan.
