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? How should vulvitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is primarily treated by soaking the external genital area in a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution twice daily, followed by applying an antibiotic ointment. If there is fever and elevated white blood cell count, antibiotics should be taken orally or injected intramuscularly as prescribed by a doctor. In fact, the main focus for treating vaginitis is to pay attention to personal hygiene. Daily, it is important to wear pure cotton underwear and avoid silk or other types of underwear that can cause friction. Underwear should be sterilized and washed daily, and should not be mixed with other clothes. In addition to immediate treatment, gynecological patients also need to pay attention to maintaining a positive mood in daily life, as a good mood is very helpful for the complete recovery from the disease. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
