Patient's question:
I recently noticed that sometimes when I strain during a bowel movement, my vagina gets chafed. This situation had never happened before, but recently, whenever I strain, it gets chafed, and I confirmed that it is indeed the vagina, not the anus. What could be causing this?Doctor's answer:
There is a high possibility of uterine issues. It is recommended to visit the gynecology department for a follow-up examination promptly. Performing an abdominal ultrasound can help clarify the diagnosis and guide symptomatic treatment. Please discuss the specific treatment plan with the attending physician. Cooperating with the doctor in the treatment process is beneficial for effectively controlling the condition. Maintain good hygiene for the lower body in daily life, bathe frequently, and change underwear and pants often. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and enhance physical exercise to improve your immune system.In addition to treating gynecological conditions, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times. This can help strengthen the body and slow down the recovery process.
