What should I do if it's a vaginal infection?

Patient's question:

Doctor, these days I've been feeling uncomfortable when I urinate, and my external genital area is very itchy. I really want to scratch it. I also feel there's a smell there. After a thorough examination, it was found to be vaginitis. What should I do in this situation?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is also divided into many different types, such as bacterial vaginosis, fungal vaginosis, trichomoniasis, etc. You can go to the hospital for a check-up and then receive symptomatic treatment. If it is bacterial vaginosis, you can take oral cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs and nitroimidazole anti-inflammatory drugs. If it is fungal, you can take nystatin tablets orally. You need to wipe the external genitalia daily and can apply some anti-inflammatory, anti-swelling, and pain-relieving ointment. Avoid spicy foods.
