Patient's question:
During this period, I indeed contracted vaginitis with a bad odor and a milky-like color discharge. It keeps recurring. I'd like to try some traditional Chinese medicine to regulate it. Could you please tell me if it's okay to drink traditional Chinese medicine during my menstrual period? Additionally, since I have a heavy dampness, what should I do about it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, your condition is more common with vaginitis. It is recommended to have a thorough check of your vaginal discharge routine. Once the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Do not self-medicate blindly, as different types of vaginitis require different medications. Underwear and pants must be strictly prohibited from being washed with shoe soles and socks at the same time. It is best to use a separate laundry container for underwear. After washing, underwear and pants should be exposed to sunlight for drying. It is advisable for both partners to be treated simultaneously to avoid repeated mutual infection during sexual intercourse, which may lead to prolonged illness. During treatment, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited.
