Patient's question:
Hello, I've been experiencing a frequent vaginal odor these past few days, which has also led to a decrease in sexual activity. I'd like to ask, how can vaginal odor be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Three days after the menstrual period ends, it is recommended to have a gynecological examination, including abdominal ultrasound, and laboratory tests for routine vaginal discharge to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to maintaining clean and hygienic external genitalia. Inflammation may be severe. Additionally, be mindful of cleaning. Generally, it is recommended to clean 2-3 times a day, and it should be done from front to back. Use lukewarm water with a small amount of salt for cleaning. Overly frequent cleaning can increase the risk of transmission. There are many treatments for abnormal vaginal odor, but since symptoms vary among patients, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
