Patient's question:
In recent days, the external genital area has been particularly itchy, and there is a significant increase in discharge. Now, every time I urinate, it causes pain. I don't know what might be causing this, and I'm now looking to ask here. Which hospital is good for checking bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
A decline in the body's immunity, such as when the vagina is injured during an induced abortion, can lead to the excessive growth of bacteria hidden within the vagina, causing vaginitis. Neglecting hygiene in the genital area, such as sharing personal hygiene items with others, can also result in vaginitis due to infection from others. Frequent use of cleaning agents can damage the vagina's natural antibacterial ability, allowing bacteria to adapt and multiply, which may lead to recurrent vaginitis. It is recommended not to overuse cleaning agents and to clean the genital area with plain water instead. Gynecological patients can complement professional treatment with dietary therapy in daily life. A balanced diet should be maintained, avoiding irritating foods.
