Patient's question:
These past few days, the vagina has been itchy severely. Today, there was white discharge.Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching and 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 remain in a poor environment, resulting in edema, congestion, and downward infection. This can have a significant impact on the growth and development of the endometrium and fallopian tubes, making it easy to cause infertility. Therefore, it requires serious attention.Vaginitis comes in several types: common bacterial infections, candidal (yeast) vaginitis, trichomoniasis, and chlamydia-induced vaginitis, among others. Vaginitis is a complex condition, and diagnosis requires laboratory tests of vaginal discharge to identify the causative pathogen for targeted treatment.
