Patient's question:
I am usually very hygienic, using hot water to wash my underwear for sterilization. I do this every day to keep it clean and sterile. But I don't know why I always have a itchy groin and a bad odor. I haven't had sexual activity for a long time, so what is wrong with me? Is it bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
Currently, without sexual activity, there is vulvar itching, and abnormal vaginal discharge, which may be caused by vaginitis. It is necessary to conduct a detailed secretion examination to confirm the type of vaginitis, as it may not necessarily be bacterial vaginosis. For vaginitis, it is necessary to first thoroughly clean the vagina with a cleaning solution and then use anti-inflammatory suppositories for treatment for one week to observe whether the symptoms can be relieved. Pay attention to personal hygiene, do not have overly frequent sexual activity, and re-examination after treatment can lead to full recovery.In addition, during the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and a proper diet to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of bacterial vaginosis.
