Patient's question:
I am unmarried, and recently I have experienced itching during urination. My discharge is thick and has an odor, along with a burning sensation. What is vulvitis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is an inflammation of the external genitalia caused by a yeast-like fungus. Vaginitis can affect sexual intercourse and create a favorable environment for sperm within the vagina. In severe cases of vaginitis, a large number of white blood cells in the discharge can absorb sperm, deplete energy substances in semen, reduce sperm vitality, and prolong sperm survival time, thereby lowering fertility rates. In addition, during the treatment of vaginitis, apart from immediate medical intervention, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. It is essential for patients to maintain a positive mood and proper diet to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery from vaginitis.
