Is it serious if there are bumps and itching in the external genitalia?

Patient's question:

I have always had gynecological problems. Usually, it's just abnormal discharge, a bit yellow in color, and looks a bit thicker. But recently, I noticed bumps on my external genitalia, and it's itchy. Is it because my gynecological condition has worsened, or is it a new gynecological problem?

Doctor's answer:

A woman has bumps on her external genitalia accompanied by itching, and there is also abnormal vaginal discharge. It is recommended to visit a gynecologist for examination. The possibility of these granular growths on the external genitalia not being removed could be genital warts. This is a viral infection of the genital area and is a sexually transmitted disease. If diagnosed, early antiviral treatment should be initiated. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided. Of course, if the viral infection is ruled out, symptomatic treatment can be administered. For patients, if the gynecological condition is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of the gynecological condition. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and stay in a positive mood. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
