Patient's question:
For a couple of months, after the menstrual period, there has been itching of the external genitalia, and a few days later, pain has started. I went to a hospital for a check-up, and they said it was vaginitis. They did red light cleaning and applied medication, but it feels like it keeps recurring.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, first perform a white discharge check to identify the specific type of vaginitis and provide comprehensive treatment. Follow the prescribed course of treatment, conduct regular follow-up tests, and maintain clean and dry external genitalia to prevent scratching. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, change underwear frequently, or use warm water for cleaning. Do not mix with other clothes during washing to prevent cross-infection. For patients with severe external genital itching, seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid using medication blindly, as this may worsen the condition.
