Patient's question:
Hello, I've been experiencing a frequent vaginal odor these days, which has also led to a decrease in sexual activity. I'd like to ask, what should I do if I have a vaginal odor?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is commonly seen in cases of vaginitis. It is recommended to check a routine vaginal discharge test. Once the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment can be administered. Do not self-medicate blindly, as different types of vaginitis require different medications. Underwear and pants must strictly be washed separately from insoles and socks. It is best to use a dedicated laundry container for underwear and pants. After washing, it is recommended to expose them to sunlight for drying. It is advisable for both partners to be treated simultaneously to avoid repeated mutual infection during sexual activity, which can lead to lingering illness. During treatment, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited.
