Patient's question:
Vaginal itching, foreign odor, usually fishy odor, sometimes very strong, often unaware of leakage before urination. Is this a disease?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching, fishy odor, excessive leukorrhea – these are likely symptoms of vaginitis. Candidal vaginitis and trichomonal vaginitis are the most common causes of vaginal itching. However, these two types of vaginitis require completely different treatments, so it is best to undergo a thorough examination and diagnosis before starting medication. Generally, a gynecological examination and a leukorrhea routine test are sufficient for diagnosis.Lifestyle Care:
1. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene; change menstrual pads frequently during menstruation and clean the area regularly.
2. Maintain clean and dry external genitalia; avoid hot water bathing and soapy scrubbing.
3. Avoid using or misusing medications; refrain from scratching or irritating the area.
