Patient's question:
I haven't been feeling well lately. Over the past few months, I've noticed an increase in white discharge, accompanied by itching in the genital area. I often feel a burning sensation and pain in the vagina, and sometimes I also experience frequent urination, painful urination, and discomfort during urination. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, they said it was a sexually transmitted vaginal infection. I'm not very familiar with this. What are the symptoms of a sexually transmitted vaginal infection?Doctor's answer:
1: Insufficient medication duration is the most common problem for patients with vaginitis. After repeatedly experiencing candidal vaginitis, patients may not take medication seriously, leading to incomplete treatment, which is a major reason for the recurrence of the disease.2: Even after treatment for candidal vaginitis, patients still need to undergo gynecological examinations and vaginal discharge tests at the hospital after each menstrual cycle. If signs of candidal infection are detected during this period, it cannot be considered cured, and there is a risk of recurrence or reinfection, requiring focused treatment. More importantly, it is essential to seek treatment at a regular hospital and not delay the best time for treatment.
