Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I've had discomfort and itching in a private part for a while, is it possible it's a gynecological inflammation? I'm 24 years old, and I started having sex for the first time at the end of last year. However, because my boyfriend and I are in a long-distance relationship, the frequency is relatively low, and we are very mindful of hygiene.Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms may be caused by poor breathability of underwear or changes due to gynecological infections. You can first try switching to breathable underwear to see if it stabilizes. If the effect is not good, you may need to consider gynecological inflammation and undergo a routine vaginal discharge examination to identify the cause. Bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics, while fungal infections can be treated with miconazole nitrate suppositories.
