Patient's question:
16-year-old girl with vaginitis. No sexual activity. Went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor prescribed "Coptis Rhizoma" (Huangbai), which is for washing. Put some of this medicine when washing the buttocks. Then, the doctor also prescribed an ointment. However, I have used both of these medicines for 4 days now. Why isn't it getting better? And suddenly today, I have some urinary pain. Now, my passage is a bit painful. What should I do? How is vaginitis caused?Doctor's answer:
After reviewing your description of the condition, considering your situation, the possibility of vaginitis is relatively high. It is recommended to visit a public hospital with secondary or higher level gynecology and obstetrics department in your local area for a thorough examination of cervical discharge routine and secretion culture. It is important to change underwear frequently. For the patient, 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. In addition, the patient should maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
