Is there a relationship between vaginitis and obesity?

Patient's question:

Several of my female friends have already contracted vaginitis, and I've noticed that those who have vaginitis tend to be heavier, even a bit obese. I'm wondering how vaginitis is related to obesity. Recently, my weight has been declining, and I'm very afraid that I might also get this disease.

Doctor's answer:

Vaginitis and obesity have no absolute relationship. Pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life. Underwear should be washed separately and exposed to sunlight for sterilization. If air-dried, it is easy for mold to grow, leading to moldy vaginitis. Both underwear and outer pants should not be too tight and should always be kept loose and breathable. In terms of diet, avoid overly spicy and irritating foods to prevent discomfort. In addition to timely treatment, patients with vaginitis also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
