Patient's question:
Actually, it's usually fine, but I always get sick after my period. The specific symptoms are itching in the private area and a heavy, lower abdominal pain. Is this condition caused by inflammation? Please ask: What are the common causes of vulvitis?Doctor's answer:
The female reproductive system excretes secretions daily, known as leukorrhea. Normal leukorrhea is milky white and has no odor or external vaginal itching. If you experience excessive leukorrhea, odor, or external vaginal itching, it may be a symptom of vaginitis. There are many causes of vaginitis. The female vagina is naturally open, and its anatomical structure is relatively short, thick, and straight, making it susceptible to bacterial invasion and infection. The female reproductive system excretes secretions daily. If hygiene is not maintained, it is easy to become contaminated with bacteria. In addition to sexual contact with a partner, cross-infection can also occur, leading to vaginitis.
