Patient's question:
I feel itchy, red, swollen, and painful in the external genital area. There is also an increase in vaginal discharge, and sometimes a burning sensation. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I had a gynecological inflammation, specifically vulvitis. What should I do if I have vulvitis?Doctor's answer:
Itching, redness, swelling, pain, and a burning sensation in the external genital area, along with increased vaginal discharge, are typical clinical symptoms of vaginitis and vulvitis. In cases where a definitive diagnosis has been confirmed, it is essential to follow medical advice for systematic treatment. Newkim solution or other gynecological cleaning solutions can be used to rinse the vagina and external genital area. Oral medications such as ornidazole and gatifloxacin may also be prescribed. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited, and a light diet should be maintained. Gynecological inflammation is a condition that is prone to occur. During treatment, women should pay attention to their own care. It is recommended to avoid sexual activity and maintain good hygiene during the treatment period.
