Patient's question:
Doctor, please reply to me as soon as possible. I am only 19 years old this year, but recently I have noticed itching in my external genital area and yellow discharge. What could be the reason? Am I suffering from some kind of dirty disease, such as a sexually transmitted infection? Because I heard that a girl in my dormitory has contracted such a disease, and I am worried that I might have been infected.Doctor's answer:
Your condition suggests a high possibility of vulvitis and vaginitis. Your leukorrhea is yellow, which is more likely to be bacterial vaginosis or candidal vaginitis. Additionally, you have symptoms of vulvar itching, which makes the possibility of a sexually transmitted disease less likely. You can visit the gynecology department of a hospital to examine your leukorrhea and undergo vaginal lavage and medication for better treatment.There are several treatment methods for vulvar itching, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic approach may differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
