Patient's question:
I have always been living with my boyfriend. It might be that we weren't very careful about hygiene during our intimate moments. Recently, I've been feeling a bit of a burning sensation in my vagina, and my period has been delayed. My discharge is a bit purulent, and there's also a foul odor.Doctor's answer:
Treatment methods Generally, active treatment can completely eliminate susceptible factors. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia at all times to prevent scratching. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, which is very effective. Change underwear frequently or use warm water for purification. Do not mix with other clothes to prevent cross-infection.Changes in vaginal pH The optimal pH value for Candida growth is 5.5. The weakly acidic environment of the vagina maintains its self-cleaning function. The normal vaginal pH is 3.7-4.5. Therefore, using a female care liquid with a weak acid pH 4 formulation, in addition to daily cleaning and regulation, can inhibit the growth and adaptation of mold during illness.
