Why does the vagina itch after minimally invasive surgery for ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
I feel itchy in my vagina, and besides the pink or light yellow discharge, I feel very uncomfortable. At the time of the surgery, the external genital area was shaved very cleanly. Could it be vaginitis caused by friction with underwear due to it being exposed outside?

Doctor's answer:

The physiological structure of women is relatively special. The vagina and urethra are very close to each other, and urine can irritate the vagina, leading to cross-infection. Regarding the vaginal itching you mentioned, it may be due to urine irritation or vaginal inflammation caused by postoperative infection. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, including testing vaginal secretions, to determine how the bacteria were infected.
Ectopic pregnancy is a very serious condition. It is advised that patients seek timely treatment and follow the doctor's recommendations for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to help alleviate the condition.
The above answers are hoped to be helpful to you. Thank you.
