Patient's question:
I don't know if it's because I've been wearing short skirts for a while recently. Since last Friday, it started itching down there, with a burning sensation. The discharge is thin and viscous, light yellow-green, and has a sour odor. There's cottage cheese-like white discharge at the vaginal opening, and it's slightly red and swollen. I'm currently using Jie'er Yin, washing twice a day in the morning and evening. Due to work reasons, I don't have time to go to the hospital now, and I can only go on weekends. But now it's so itchy and painful down there that I don't know what kind of inflammation it is, so I haven't taken any medication. I hope experienced doctors can help me take a look. First, I need to stop the itching. I'll go to the hospital on the weekend for a thorough examination. Thank you for reviewing my past treatment history and effectiveness: I've never had this before, and I usually pay attention to personal hygiene. A week ago, I had sexual intercourse.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is mainly itching of the external genitalia and cheesy-looking discharge, which is likely due to a fungal infection.Recommendation: It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination to identify the specific pathogen causing the infection. This will help in targeted treatment. Avoid taking antibiotics orally without a prescription, as this can lead to drug resistance, making future treatment more difficult. Drink plenty of water and maintain good hygiene at all times.
Vaginal inflammation is a common gynecological condition. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change their underwear frequently. Wishing all female patients a speedy recovery!
