Patient's question:
I just came on my period, but I had been treated for vaginitis for a week. Today, I suddenly had light reddish-brown discharge from my vagina. What could be the situation?Doctor's answer:
Considering the possibility of trichomoniasis, it is recommended to undergo a routine vaginal discharge examination to confirm the specific type of vaginitis for targeted treatment. Maintain external genital hygiene and keep them clean and dry. Avoid scratching, hot water bathing, and soaps. During infection, use sitz baths with solutions. Underwear should be breathable, loose-fitting, and avoid alcohol as well as spicy or allergenic foods. Patients facing the harm of vaginitis should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If vaginitis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
