Patient's question:
Recently, after undergoing a series of tests at the hospital, I was diagnosed with vaginitis. I'm feeling quite uncomfortable physically. I'd like to ask, what are the common causes of vaginitis in women?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is generally caused by pathogens infiltrating the vagina, leading to vaginal inflammation, which can be classified into types such as candidal vaginitis, bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, etc. It is recommended to conduct a routine vaginal discharge examination to confirm the specific type of vaginitis for targeted treatment.Underwear and pants must strictly not be washed together with shoe soles or socks. It is better to use a separate laundry container for underwear. After washing, it is advisable to expose the underwear and pants to sunlight for drying. Avoid wearing tight clothing and pants; you can use anti-inflammatory medications or cleaning solutions for wiping. Pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid consuming extremely cold or irritating foods. Maintain clean and dry external genitalia to prevent scratching. During treatment, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited.
