Patient's question:
I always have pain and swelling in my vagina, and this time after my period, it has been more than half a month with a white discharge that looks like pus and is reddish in color. Lately, I've been experiencing pain in my liver area. I've visited many hospitals, and they all say it's vaginitis, but they can't see anything. It's swollen during intercourse, and it's the same even without intercourse. Is this related to my IUD?Doctor's answer:
Considering you may have contracted vaginitis, it is recommended to undergo a routine vaginal discharge examination to confirm the specific type of vaginitis for symptomatic treatment. Maintain external genital hygiene and keep them clean and dry. Avoid scratching, hot water bathing, and the use of soap. When infection is present, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable and loose-fitting. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods. For patients, if gynecological conditions are severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of gynecological diseases. Additionally, patients should pay attention to their diet and psychological care. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can assist everyone. Thank you.
