Does recurrent vaginitis affect fertility?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please tell me if having recurring vaginitis for over ten years affects pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginitis can be of fungal, trichomonal, bacterial, or other types. A vaginal discharge test is needed to diagnose which type of vaginitis it is. At this stage, Jie'er Yin can be used for rinsing. If it is bacterial vaginitis, targeted medication should be used. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited, and underwear should be boiled after being scalded with boiling water for sterilization. It is important to maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Additionally, patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle and have a regular diet. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
