Patient's question:
I have been living with my boyfriend for almost a year. Recently, I noticed abnormal discharge, itching in the vaginal area, and frequent urination. I have never had these symptoms before. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was vaginitis. Is it because of sexual activity that I got vaginitis, or is it because I didn't maintain good personal hygiene?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is mostly caused by poor personal hygiene! Most recurrences are triggered by unclean sexual activity after marriage! However, in recent years, there has been an increasing trend of low-age suffering from vaginitis without any sexual contact! Experiments have found that this is closely related to dietary habits and hygiene before and after menstruation! It's not necessarily only sexual activity that causes it! Not necessarily. If hygiene is not paid attention to in daily life, it can also occur. Therefore, it is important to maintain good hygiene and clean more regularly. For patients, if the condition of vaginitis is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be provided, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of vaginitis.
