Patient's question:
These past few months, I've been feeling particularly uncomfortable downstairs, sometimes with just a bit of itching. I'm very afraid that some of my symptoms might be due to a non-specific vaginal infection. So, what are the symptoms of a non-specific vaginal infection? Am I infected?Doctor's answer:
Whether vaginitis is infected needs to be determined through scientific laboratory tests and careful examinations, as well as gynecological examinations. This involves checking for chronic inflammation in the vagina and cervix, and conducting a detailed examination of vaginal discharge to identify bacteria, fungi, trichomonas, mycoplasma, etc. Common chronic cervical inflammation often leads to an increase in vaginal discharge. Infections such as fungal, trichomonas, or bacterial infections can cause itching in the external genitalia. It is important to conduct scientific laboratory tests and actively treat the condition. The recurrence of vaginal inflammation significantly affects women's health, requiring attention to post-menstrual follow-up examinations, a light diet, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
