Patient's question:
These days, a good friend invited me to officiate at her wedding, so I went. At the banquet, I drank some red wine and ate some spicy and sour dishes. But a few days after coming back, I started feeling extremely itchy in my outer vagina, especially when taking a bath, to the point where I couldn't bear it. When I went to see a doctor, they said it was vaginitis. What are the specific symptoms of vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Friend, you might have triggered a vaginal infection after eating these sour and spicy foods. Women should avoid these foods as much as possible. However, it’s best to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to determine which type of vaginal infection you have. This way, you can receive targeted treatment for better results.In daily life, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink more water, and reduce the intake of sweet and sour foods. You can also use baking soda tablets to help alkalize your urine, which is very helpful. Additionally, if the infection recurs frequently, further tests for blood sugar and urine sugar should be conducted to rule out diabetes.
For severe cases of vaginal infection, it’s recommended to seek immediate medical attention. Follow the doctor’s advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on over-the-counter medications, as this could worsen the condition.
