Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy in my external genital area, making me restless and unable to sit or stand still. Additionally, there's redness and swelling in the area. Since I value my appearance at work, I can't make many unattractive movements. I really want to get rid of this. What medicine should I use to treat the itching and swelling of the external genital area?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is likely vaginitis. It is recommended that you promptly visit a gynecology department for tests such as a routine vaginal discharge examination and vaginal secretion test. After a clear diagnosis, follow the doctor's guidance for symptomatic treatment. Pay close attention to hygiene in daily life, and you can use wipes to clean the external genital area. It is best to avoid using cleaning solutions. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Avoid extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods. During the treatment of vaginitis, avoid sexual activity.
