Patient's question:
After giving birth, I felt like I had developed a gynecological infection. I always felt itchy in my vagina, and there was a lot of discharge. After masturbation, I would experience lower abdominal pain, which was uncomfortable. My vagina was also very dry, and I didn't want to have sex with my husband anymore. How should gynecological infections be treated after childbirth?Doctor's answer:
If there is a gynecological infection after childbirth, it is necessary to have a test for treatment. Based on the discharge, it may be caused by a fungal infection, so a routine vaginal examination should be arranged for a thorough check-up, and medication should begin. Vaginal irrigation or the use of vaginal suppositories can be performed, but sexual activity should be avoided during medication. After medication, sexual activity should be paused to prevent the condition from recurring. A follow-up test will be conducted in a few days.Gynecological inflammation is an easily recurring gynecological disease. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently.
