Patient's question:
Recently, my vagina has been very dry during sexual activity. I have had vaginitis for nearly three years without improvement, and I am currently undergoing treatment. I'm concerned that frequent medication use might lead to vaginal dryness. Some people say that taking vitamin B2 can help, but there are two types of vitamins available: one is a medicine priced at over 1 yuan per bottle, and the other is a health supplement priced at over 100 yuan per bottle. The price difference is so significant—so which one is better? Will it really be effective?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal dryness is caused by factors such as a lack of vitamin B2 in the body, a deficiency of estrogen, and psychological factors. It can lead to pain during intercourse and interfere with sexual pleasure. Over time, it may also result in decreased libido and sexual apathy. Currently, it is recommended that you check your hormone levels and identify the cause for targeted treatment. The harm caused by vaginal infections to patients is very significant. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, proper self-care should be emphasized, including eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding foods. It is hoped that patients with vaginal infections can receive professional treatment.
