Patient's question:
Doctor. I have recently experienced an increase in leukorrhea, itching and swelling in the vaginal area, and the skin in the vaginal area, apart from cracking, is getting better and worse. Is this a gynecological inflammation or a sexually transmitted disease?Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, it is considered whether it is fungal vaginitis or vaginal eczema. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a routine examination of vaginal discharge to confirm the cause and then decide on medication treatment. The possibility of sexually transmitted diseases is generally not high. It is best to choose cotton underwear that is soft and maintains good breathability. Additionally, you should change your clothes every day and wash your external genital area with warm water daily. The basin and towel used for washing the external genital area should be sterilized with boiling water. The underwear to be changed should be dried in the sun. In fact, having a gynecological disease is not scary, and patients should believe that they can overcome the illness.
