Patient's question:
Hello, I've had itchy external genitalia and excessive leukorrhea these days. After examination, I was diagnosed with vulvitis. How should I treat vulvitis just after being diagnosed with it?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis refers to the recurring inflammation of the skin or mucous membranes of the vulva, characterized by symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, itching, and irritation. The vulva can develop various conditions due to bacterial infections, such as leukoplakia of the vulva and vulvar pruritus. General treatment typically involves sitz baths with herbs that clear heat, detoxify, eliminate dampness, reduce swelling, and alleviate pain, which can significantly relieve itching, pain, and discomfort in the vulva. You may also take oral antibiotics like ciprofloxacin, and in combination, use feminine hygiene products such as Feiyinjie or Jieryin to clean the vulva for a comprehensive treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
