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:
Vaginitis can interfere with pregnancy. In severe cases of vaginitis, a large number of white blood cells in sexual secretions can absorb sperm, deplete energy substances in semen, reduce sperm vitality, and prolong sperm survival time, thereby reducing fertility. Vaginitis may lead to the possibility of malignancy. Persistent vaginitis that does not heal with treatment should be highly of the possibility of vulvar cancer. During acute vaginitis, sexual intercourse not only exacerbates the patient's discomfort but also forces the inflammation to spread, leading to secondary infections. It is recommended that women with vaginitis seek timely treatment and, ideally, that both partners are treated simultaneously, as there is a high risk of transmitting the infection to their partner. Pay close attention to personal hygiene in daily life, and avoid sexual activity during treatment. In fact, having gynecological conditions is not; patients should believe that they can overcome the illness.
