Patient's question:
I am 30 years old this year and have a two-year-old daughter. Due to not cleaning the vulva promptly during the postpartum period, I developed vaginitis, which is extremely itchy and painful. Whether it's Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, it hasn't been cured after taking it for a long time. How should vaginitis be cared for?Doctor's answer:
During postpartum period, if you didn't pay attention to the hygiene of the perineum, it may lead to vaginitis and severe itching! Generally, the treatment of vaginitis is based on topical medication, while oral medication is not very effective. You need to go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test and vaginal secretion culture to identify the pathogen causing vaginitis. Only after determining the appropriate medication for symptomatic treatment can you achieve effective results. During the treatment period, you must absolutely avoid sexual activity to prevent affecting the treatment outcome or triggering a recurrence of vaginitis.
