Patient's question:
Doctor, I have a few issues I'd like to consult about. I'm 25 years old and have been living with my boyfriend for a while. It might be due to poor hygiene during our intimate moments, and I didn't take a bath beforehand. Recently, I've been feeling a burning sensation in my vagina, and my period has been delayed. My discharge is a bit purulent with a foul odor. I went to a pharmacy and bought some feminine wash, but it didn't work well. What kind of help I need: I want to know what other symptoms are associated with gynecological infections besides those mentioned?Doctor's answer:
When external genital inflammation occurs again, regardless of the cause, patients primarily exhibit symptoms such as itching, redness, swelling, and burning pain in the external genitalia. When the acidity or alkalinity of vaginal discharge changes again, or when special pathogens infiltrate, it can lead to an inflammatory response.Additionally, cervicitis is also a common gynecological inflammation. This condition can be divided into acute and chronic types, with symptoms often: viscous mucus, increased leukorrhea, or purulent mucus. Gynecological inflammation is a disease that is prone to occur, and during medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of care.
