Patient's question:
Vaginitis has recently appeared again with itching around the vaginal opening and inside the vagina. In the past few days, there has been persistent itching around the vaginal opening and inside the vagina, which is currently tolerable. The external genitalia are slightly red, and the vaginal discharge has increased without a significant odor, turning a deep yellow. Additionally, I traveled outside recently, and I am unmarried but have not had sexual intercourse in the past few days.Previous treatment and effectiveness: I have previously experienced similar symptoms. Using a herbal wash solution helped, and it cleared up within a week.
What kind of help I need: I don’t know which type of vaginitis this is. How should it be treated?
Doctor's answer:
As you described, there are no other abnormalities in the leukorrhea, so it is still considered to be simple bacterial vaginosis. It is necessary to conduct a detailed and thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis, and then actively treat it. Daily, appropriate dietary habits should be maintained, with increased fluid intake, enhanced hygiene, and maintaining cleanliness in the perineal area. Potassium permanganate solution foot baths can be used, and sensitive antibiotics should be actively used to control the infection, such as amoxicillin, levofloxacin, and sulfonamide drugs. For itching, calamine lotion can be applied externally, and oral medications such as chlorpheniramine maleate tablets, calcium supplements, and vitamin C can be taken. In most cases, the condition can improve.
