Patient's question:
My wife has been experiencing persistent itching in her external genital area since giving birth, and her vaginal discharge has become significantly increased, resembling a continuous flow. Her underwear is always damp and sticky. Besides the odor, a thorough examination revealed that she has developed vulvitis. Recently, my wife saw a product claiming to eliminate the condition with just a wash. Can vulvitis really be resolved simply by washing?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis may be caused by poor hygiene or bacterial infections. The symptoms may lead to increased secretions and recurrent itching or discomfort in the lower body. It is important to pay attention to local cleanliness and strictly avoid consuming foods that are irritating. High or dilute saltwater solutions can be used to clean the affected area. If the topical solution alone is not effective, oral medications and intravaginal treatments can also be combined for treatment.
