Patient's question:
Vaginal itching and increased vaginal discharge reappear after the menstrual period. This has happened before during pregnancy, and it went away after giving birth. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching, increased vaginal discharge, are typical symptoms of vaginal inflammation. If there is a long-term bacterial infection, it can easily lead to an imbalance in the vaginal pH, causing the cervix to be in a poor environment for a long time, resulting in edema and congestion. Downward infection can have a significant impact on the growth and development of the endometrium and fallopian tubes, making it easy to cause infertility. Vaginitis is caused by common bacterial infections, such as fungal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, and vaginitis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. Vaginitis is very complex, and careful examination and diagnosis require laboratory tests of vaginal discharge to identify the pathogen for targeted treatment.
