Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing itching in the groin area, sometimes with increased white discharge, and at other times with other pale yellow secretions. It's particularly painful. I've used cleaning solutions to wash it, but there hasn't been any improvement—still itchy, and sometimes accompanied by a bad odor. I'm not sure if it's vulvitis, but I'd like to ask what medication should be used for vulvitis.Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis requires the use of gynecological cleansing solutions for treatment. First, if there are symptoms such as itching, it is likely a fungal infection. Therefore, a routine vaginal discharge test should be conducted for a thorough examination, and then medication can be started. However, during the medication period, sexual activity should be avoided, and foods should not be consumed. Generally, medication is effective within 1 week, and some ointments can also be applied externally to reduce swelling and relieve pain. Pay attention to exposing underwear to sunlight in daily life to prevent the condition from recurring.
