Patient's question:
Today, the pharmacy in our residential community opened for business. A few female pharmacists set up a booth in our neighborhood, helping elderly residents measure their blood pressure and offering half-price treatments for young people like us. I mentioned that I often feel discomfort in my vagina, and after a thorough examination in the tent, one of the female doctors suggested that I might have bacterial vaginosis, but she couldn't confirm it.Hello, is bacterial vaginosis and candidal vulvovaginitis a gynecological disease? How can it be diagnosed?
Doctor's answer:
The two types of infections you mentioned both share a common gynecological condition. If you want to be diagnosed, it is recommended to go to the gynecology department of a regular hospital for a follow-up examination. Through routine gynecological throat swabs and the collection of vaginal secretions for additional culture, it can be discovered and identified which type of bacterial or viral infection it is, allowing for more targeted medication to be used.When patients face the problem of vaginitis, we should actively undergo thorough examinations and treatment, without avoiding medical visits. If vaginitis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
