Patient's question:
My friend felt itchy outside her vagina a few weeks ago. She had never had this before. After checking, they said it was vaginitis. I want to ask what should be done?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is generally classified into bacterial vaginosis, candidal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, atrophic vaginitis, and juvenile vaginitis, among others. If symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, color changes, odor, and itching or burning pain appear, it usually indicates vaginitis. In this case, it is recommended to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge examination to accurately determine the specific inflammation and receive timely symptomatic treatment. Vaginitis is a common and frequently occurring disease in women. If it is not treated promptly and thoroughly, it can easily become chronic or recurrent.
