Patient's question:
I've been married for over a year, and only recently in the past month have I been approved to have a child. I'm currently trying to conceive, but I don't know why I've noticed itching in my external genital area in the past two days. Sometimes it's so itchy that I can't sit or stand still. After sexual intercourse, there's a sense of pain. When I took a bath, I noticed red spots in a ring shape. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as ring-shaped vulvitis.Doctor's answer:
It is a relatively easy-to-transmit gynecological inflammation. Suffering from vulvitis can lead to symptoms such as vulvar itching, burning sensation, and more. It may also cause dysuria and pain during intercourse, affecting sexual quality. It can also be transmitted to a partner, interfering with fertility. If the vulva is severely affected by inflammation, it may lead to conditions such as genital warts, genital herpes, gonorrhea, syphilis, trichomoniasis, and fungal infections, causing serious disruptions to the patient's life and severely threatening their health. For severe cases of vulvitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition. The above advice is for reference only.
