Patient's question:
Since I started school, I have always kept myself pure. The boyfriend I lived with during college never engaged in any intimate touching; it was limited to things like holding hands and kissing. However, recently I discovered that I have a vaginal infection. How could I have a vaginal infection if I haven’t had sex?Doctor's answer:
Women who are married are also prone to vaginal infections. Vaginal infections are a common gynecological condition with a high incidence rate, so there is no need to worry. In daily life, use warm water or gynecological cleaning solutions to clean the external genitalia. Underwear should be washed promptly and exposed to sunlight to sterilize. Develop good living habits, pay attention not to wash underwear together with outerwear, and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy foods. Vaginal infection patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment while undergoing proper medical treatment. In daily dietary habits, it is necessary to have a proper diet and avoid stimulating foods.
