Patient's question:
Hello, doctor, I am a middle school student. But recently, I have been feeling a strong itching in my external genitalia, and sometimes accompanied by a burning sensation. I am too afraid to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, so I can only secretly search online. It said it might be vaginitis. Could you please tell me what to do about vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Itching and pain in the external genital area suggest a higher likelihood of vulvitis. Vulvitis is related to poor local hygiene, non-breathable underwear, and other factors. It is recommended that you first pay attention to hygiene in your lower body. Wash your lower body with warm water before going to bed every night, wear cotton underwear that is loose and change it daily. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy, irritating foods. If the symptoms do not improve after two or three days, you should seek medical attention for a thorough examination and then follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. The recurrence of cervical inflammation significantly affects women's health, so it is necessary to avoid sexual activity during the treatment period and pay attention to personal hygiene.
