Patient's question:
I have undergone a thorough examination at the gynecological hospital for pelvic inflammatory disease, trichomoniasis, and bacterial vaginosis, and have been prescribed medication. Even after my menstrual period arrives, should I still clean my external genitalia? I had a car accident in June and had a urinary catheter inserted into my vagina. I have been single for nearly 10 years and have not had any sexual contact with men, but I have had self-sex during that time. My body has a heavy dampness, and I often stay in hotels for work. I use my own towels. Hello, why do I have so many gynecological diseases, and how did I contract them? What should I pay attention to in order to be cured?Doctor's answer:
Recurring yellow vaginal discharge is generally caused by vaginitis. The vagina is closely adjacent to the urethra and anus, making it locally moist and susceptible to industrial pollution. It is recommended to conduct a routine vaginal discharge test to confirm the nature of the vaginitis, thereby guiding treatment. Pay attention to maintaining clean and dry external genitalia. Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease can use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment while receiving conventional medical care. Proper dietary habits should be maintained in daily life, avoiding irritating foods, which will aid in recovery.
