Patient's question:
I have been experiencing itching and pain in my lower vagina recently, along with the symptom of painful urination. I have also developed frequent urination and urgency to urinate. My vaginal discharge has a fishy odor and is thick, like cottage cheese. Before my period, I also have lower abdominal pain, and my menstrual flow is heavier. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with vaginitis. I would like to ask how vaginitis should be treated?Doctor's answer:
First, carefully check to identify the pathogen causing the infection. Timely treatment with sensitive antibiotics based on the identified pathogen is essential. Additionally, note that vaginitis is primarily related to personal hygiene and mutual transmission. Therefore, it is important to maintain cleanliness to prevent the rampant spread of pathogens, eliminate sources of infection, and enhance immunity to prevent the occurrence of the disease.Lifestyle care: Pay attention to regular exercise, avoid prolonged sitting, and refrain from spicy and irritating foods, as these can help improve the condition.
