Patient's question:
I pay close attention to personal hygiene in my daily life. Every night, I clean my private area, and I change my underwear every day. Recently, after my last menstrual period ended, my discharge has been abnormal. It's excessive, itchy in the lower private area, and slightly yellow with a faint odor.Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is characterized by abnormal vaginal discharge, odor, and itching. The treatment and medication for vaginitis vary depending on the causative pathogen. Vaginitis includes types such as fungal, bacterial, non-specific, and trichomoniasis. Blind self-medication may lead to dysbiosis and worsen the condition. It is recommended that you visit a professional gynecological hospital for relevant tests such as vaginal discharge examination to confirm the diagnosis. Avoid self-administering suppositories and anti-inflammatory drugs.I wish you good health. Vaginitis is not something to be feared. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. Early detection and timely treatment significantly increase the chances of controlling the condition and recovery.
