Patient's question:
I had sex with my boyfriend a few days ago, and after that, I noticed a strange odor returning between my legs, and the smell became stronger and stronger. My shorts were always wet, and my discharge was like cottage cheese. It was very itchy between my legs. What kind of gynecological disease is this? Should I go to the hospital to see a doctor, or can I just buy some medicine at a pharmacy to clean it?Doctor's answer:
How long has this been going on? Considering your symptoms, it is likely that vaginitis is the cause. Do you have any abdominal pain or discomfort? It is best to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for examination, test the routine of vaginal discharge, identify the pathogen, and then receive medication treatment. Of course, if it is not convenient to have a thorough examination, you can temporarily use Jieryin or Honghe washing solution for cleaning, and use clotrimazole suppositories for external vaginal treatment. Generally, treatment needs to last for 7-10 days, and during the treatment period, sexual intercourse should be avoided. For patients, if the gynecological condition is severe, they should receive symptomatic treatment immediately and use appropriate medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of gynecological diseases. In addition, patients also need to pay attention to their diet and psychological care. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
