Patient's question:
Vaginal inflammation with a stinging and itchy sensation. Two months ago, after sexual intercourse with her boyfriend, the symptoms reappeared, and she had two lab tests, both showing positive for hydrogen peroxide. She was prescribed metronidazole chlorhexidine lotion and clotrimazole vaginal gel. After using them for seven days, the vaginal stinging has disappeared, but she now has an itchy and stinging sensation in the clitoris. Why is there an itchy and stinging sensation in the area just below the clitoris, slightly above the vaginal opening? Is the vaginal inflammation not fully resolved, or has it developed into vulvitis? She has now been prescribed Crystex and herbal antibacterial gel by the hospital. The vaginal stinging has disappeared, but she feels a pressing sensation and an urge to urinate in the clitoris. The itchy and stinging area below the clitoris seems to be near the urethra. Could there be a urinary tract infection? The clitoris is itchy and stinging, and the area below it also feels itchy and sore, with a pressing sensation and an urge to urinate.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you should have bacterial vaginosis, with itching caused by leukorrhea. It is recommended to place metronidazole suppositories into the vagina and apply fluocinolone cream externally for local application for several days, which should improve the condition. Vaginitis is a condition that is not easily fully cured. Friends with the condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as this can increase their confidence in combating vaginitis and believe that recovery is possible.
