What should I do if I have vaginal inflammation and ate some chili peppers?

Patient's question:

Since I had sex with my husband, I've often felt discomfort down there. I went to the hospital for a check-up and found out I have vaginitis. But the other day, when I had dinner with friends, I ate spicy hot pot. I want to ask what happens if someone with vaginitis eats spicy food? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you only occasionally eat spicy and irritating foods, it won't have too much impact. It is recommended to pay attention to hygiene, always keep the external genital area clean and dry, and change underwear frequently. Avoid eating extremely cold and cold-natured foods, maintain a pleasant mood, and follow a regular lifestyle. Adhering to medical advice to treat vaginitis is the best approach. It is advised to strictly prohibit sexual intercourse during treatment to avoid cross-infection. It is best for both partners to be treated simultaneously.
