Patient's question:
I recently had itching in my external genital area, and my vaginal discharge also became abnormal. After a check-up, it was said that I have vaginitis, so I want to ask how it should be treated?Doctor's answer:
There are many types of vaginitis, and the treatment methods vary depending on the type. The main symptoms include itching, burning pain, irritation pain, and abnormal discharge. The clinical manifestations are often increased vaginal discharge, which may have an odor or a foul smell, accompanied by itching or a burning sensation in the outer genitalia. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a gynecological examination, a routine vaginal discharge test, to determine the type of vaginitis, so that targeted treatment can be provided. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good hygiene, avoid sexual intercourse, change underwear frequently, and preferably boil them and expose them to sunlight for disinfection.
