Patient's question:
Since my throat often gets inflamed, I frequently go to the pharmacy to buy some antibiotics to take. I didn't know why this time, after my period, I noticed that my external genital area was very itchy. After my period ended, there was also some discharge, which had a foul odor. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I found out that I had vaginitis. The doctor also advised me to pay attention to my diet.Doctor's answer:
Cannot maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia to prevent scratching. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, which is very effective. Change underwear frequently, or use warm water for purification. Do not wash with other clothes to prevent cross-infection.Changes in the vaginal pH can promote the growth of Candida, with the most suitable pH for its growth being 5.5. The weakly acidic environment of the vagina helps maintain its self-cleaning function. The normal vaginal pH is 3.7-4.5. Therefore, a female care liquid with a pH 4 weak acid formula is not only good for daily cleaning and regulation but also inhibits the growth of mold during illness.
When using the toilet outside, use female hygiene wipes to dry the external genitalia and keep them dry to inhibit the growth of Candida. For vaginal medication, some treatments can be used.
