Patient's question:
One of my aunts has developed vaginitis, experiencing burning and pain in the vaginal area, along with increased discharge that has a fishy odor. Doctor, I would like to consult about how to treat vaginitis. Can vaginitis be cured with medication? What is the cause of this?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal infections are relatively common. If there is an increase in discharge and a burning sensation, it is likely caused by an inflammatory infection. Therefore, avoid spicy foods and make time to visit the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test to start medication. Avoid promiscuous sexual activity. The infection can be stabilized through medication. Poor sexual hygiene or a weakened immune system can easily lead to vaginal infections.
