Patient's question:
I felt that my vagina was itchy a few weeks ago, and my discharge was also quite abnormal, somewhat like cottage cheese. There were also some small red bumps around the vaginal opening. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with vaginitis. They prescribed me many medications, but later it didn't improve much, so I went back to get more medication. As a result, the condition has now flared up again. Therefore, I want to ask the doctor, what could be the reason for the persistent vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is prone to occur, especially before and after menstruation, making it even more likely to develop during the menstrual period. Therefore, it is essential to use qualified, breathable sanitary pads during menstruation. For your current condition, it is recommended to promptly undergo gynecological tests, including a routine vaginal discharge examination and a vaginal secretion test, to confirm the diagnosis. After a clear diagnosis, follow the doctor's guidance for symptomatic medication and treatment. Once the vaginitis is cured, it is necessary to have three follow-up tests to ensure complete recovery before stopping medication.In addition to medication for vaginitis, patients should also pay attention to care aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should be mindful of choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.
