Patient's question:
My vagina always feels itchy, and my discharge is also quite abundant. I suspect I might have a gynecological disease, so I want to go to the hospital for a physical examination. However, I'm not very knowledgeable about this area and don't know which parts need to be examined carefully. I'd like to ask, what exactly are checked during a gynecological examination?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching may indicate the presence of vaginitis. It is recommended to visit a hospital for routine gynecological examinations and detailed tests of vaginal secretions, which can help confirm the diagnosis. If inflammation is present, appropriate medications can be prescribed. Active treatment through cleaning and medication insertion is beneficial for stabilization. During treatment, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited. A light diet is advised, with increased intake of warm water, while spicy and irritating foods should be avoided. Good personal hygiene and frequent of underwear are essential.
