Patient's question:
I usually have sexual intercourse. Recently, my husband told me that during intimacy, he felt a strong odor down there. I also noticed that my discharge has been more abundant these days. Am I sick? I've been very careful about hygiene, but I have a vaginal odor and increased discharge. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It is vaginitis. It is recommended that you go to the gynecology department for a routine vaginal discharge test and a vaginal secretion examination to confirm the diagnosis. After confirmation, symptomatic treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear daily, expose underwear to the sun, and it is better to sterilize them with boiling water. Avoid sexual activity during menstruation to prevent intrauterine infection. During the medication for vaginitis, sexual activity should be avoided. Do not eat extremely cold, spicy, or irritating foods. An increase in vaginal discharge is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During medication, women should pay close attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay more attention to the hygiene of the genital area, with a light diet as the foundation. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
