Patient's question:
There was an increase in vaginal discharge and itching of the external genitalia one week ago due to sexual activity. I want to consult if it's a sexually transmitted disease or inflammation. Recently, I used Hemei nuclear vaginal wipes, but the itching still persists during the day. Is it a sexually transmitted disease?Doctor's answer:
According to your picture, it appears to be candidiasis vaginitis. It is recommended that you clean the external genitalia, then use vaginal suppositories for vaginal medication. Drink plenty of water, pay attention to personal hygiene, change your underwear frequently, and wear loose, breathable cotton underwear. Wash the underwear with boiling water or expose it to sunlight. For patients, if there is an increase in leukorrhea and the condition worsens, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of increased leukorrhea. Additionally, patients should maintain a positive mood to avoid exacerbating the condition.
