Patient's question:
I have had irregular menstruation for the past few months, always either coming earlier or later, and it has never been consistent. I also have excessive leukorrhea and sometimes severe vaginal itching. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was determined that I have vaginitis, which has been treated with medication, but it keeps recurring. I would like to ask if vaginitis can affect menstrual irregularity?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis generally does not cause the recurrence of menstrual disorders. Vaginitis refers to inflammation of the vagina, including bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, candidiasis, and atrophic vaginitis in the elderly. Its occurrence has no relationship with menstrual disorders. Generally, menstrual disorders are caused by recent emotional changes, high stress, changes in the surrounding environment, and mental tension.
