Patient's question:
Hello doctor. I usually pay great attention to personal hygiene, taking baths every day, and changing my underwear and pants daily, but recently I've been experiencing persistent vulvar itching and have developed vulvovaginitis and cervical inflammation. I want to know what causes vulvovaginitis and cervical inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal inflammation or cervical inflammation are common chronic infectious issues in gynecology, primarily caused by improper personal hygiene practices or tight underwear leading to friction, among other reasons. Additionally, poor sexual hygiene can result in repeated infections. First and foremost, maintaining good personal hygiene is crucial. Use Honghe lotion to wipe daily, wear loose cotton underwear to prevent friction, and ensure proper hygiene before and after sexual activity. Then, you can choose to treat with anti-inflammatory medication applied vaginally.
