Patient's question:
How is it that some people find medication leaking into their underwear after treating vaginitis, while others do not?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and submucosal connective tissue, leading to vaginal inflammation. Due to the lack of estrogen, young girls and postmenopausal women have thin vaginal epithelium, increased glycogen content in cells, and a vaginal pH as high as around 7, making their vaginal resistance lower and more susceptible to infection compared to adolescents and women of reproductive age. It is recommended to maintain a healthy and optimistic mindset, use alkaline drugs to rinse the vagina, undergo microwave therapy, and consume more yogurt. Avoid using body deodorants, alkaline, and perfumed bath products, as well as high-sugar foods and spicy, irritating foods. Personal hygiene should be paid attention to, underwear should be changed frequently, cotton underwear should be worn, and pantyhose should be worn as little as possible.
