Patient's question:
I have had vaginitis for a week. Since yesterday, the itching in my vagina has started to subside, but my discharge is still abnormal. There is pain during intercourse. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis can be classified into fungal, trichomoniasis, and mixed-bacteria vaginitis, among others. It is important to diagnose the specific type before treating it symptomatically for better results. I recommend you undergo a routine vaginal discharge examination to confirm which type of vaginitis you have and then proceed with symptomatic treatment. Currently, you can use soda water or feminine hygiene wipes to clean the external genitalia and vagina. Additionally, change your underwear daily and wash it together with your towels and basin. In summary, do not take it lightly. Actively undergo thorough examination and symptomatic treatment. In addition to standard treatment for vaginitis, patients also need to pay attention to care aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
