Patient's question:
Acute vaginitis with abnormal vaginal discharge. The doctor prescribed a topical Chinese herbal medicine for cleaning, but didn't specify how to use it. Should it be used directly, or does it need to be heated with hot water before use? Or should a certain amount be added for cleaning? Should it be used again after cleaning?Doctor's answer:
This situation is usually treated by direct cleaning. Everyone's condition is different, so if confirmation is needed, it's still best to consult the prescribing doctor. It is recommended that patients eat less spicy food, quit smoking and drinking, drink more water regularly, and try to maintain external genital hygiene by cleaning with warm water. Povidone-iodine sterilization is used. Specific situations should be treated accordingly. In addition to immediate treatment for abnormal vaginal discharge, patients also need to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients.
