Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing itching in the external genital area, sometimes to the point of being unbearable. I went to the hospital for a gynecological examination, and after a thorough check-up, the diagnosis was vaginitis. However, I'm a virgin and have never had any sexual experience. I don't know what could have caused the vaginitis. Can virgins also get vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal infections can also occur in virgins, and even children, infants, and the elderly may be susceptible to them. The causes of vaginal infections are multifaceted, with the majority likely being due to weakened immunity, improper dietary habits, or poor personal hygiene, among other factors, which may lead to the recurrence of vaginal infections. Follow the doctor's advice for standardized symptomatic treatment according to clinical diagnosis. In terms of diet, maintain a light and balanced approach, practice good personal hygiene, and reduce your own immunity. In fact, having a vaginal infection is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
