Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling very uncomfortable downstairs. Sometimes it's itchy to the point where it's unbearable. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it's vulvitis. I took some medication and used some cleaning solution, and the condition improved slightly, but it flared up again shortly after. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is often a sexually transmitted disease. The husband of a woman with vaginitis may have pathogens in the folds of the foreskin, urethra, or prostate that suck blood. If only the woman is treated while the man remains untreated, he will acquire the pathogen and become infected. If condoms are used simultaneously, it can increase transmission between sexual partners. Therefore, the best approach is still to recommend treating immediate family members together. Additionally, during treatment, sexual intercourse must be avoided to prevent the disease from repeatedly spreading between the two individuals.Facing the harm of vaginitis, we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If vaginitis does not improve with treatment, a new treatment plan should be implemented promptly.
