Patient's question:
Recently during sexual activity, I have experienced a burning sensation and dryness in the vagina. There isn't much discharge, and it doesn't have a cheesy texture. I haven't felt any bloating or pain in the lower abdomen, but there is a slight odor when touching the external genitalia. What medication would be most suitable for this?Doctor's answer:
The vagina has a burning sensation and a bad odor, which may be caused by vaginitis. However, a single symptom cannot definitively determine the nature of vaginitis. Vaginitis can be of various types, such as fungal, trichomoniasis, and mixed bacterial vaginitis. It is important to diagnose the condition before treating it to achieve better results. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided, and a diet should be avoided that is spicy.On a daily basis, underwear should be changed, and it should be washed and disinfected along with towels and basins. In addition to medication for vaginitis, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for treatment to obtain better therapeutic effects.
