Patient's question:
Hello, I've had itchy external genitalia for a few days, with increased vaginal discharge. After examination, I was diagnosed with vulvitis. How should vulvitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is primarily caused by fungal vaginitis. It is best to follow medical advice and complete the treatment course. Avoid excessive scrubbing of the skin during bathing and do not use hot water for washing. It is recommended to take antimicrobial medications under medical guidance after diagnosis. Combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatments can yield better results with fewer side effects. Alkaline solutions, such as baking soda water, can be used to rinse the vagina. In addition to symptomatic treatment for vaginitis, patients should also focus on care, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure a good treatment outcome.
