Patient's question:
I haven't been with my boyfriend for long, but we've always been very careful about hygiene during our intimate moments. However, even so, I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable lately, especially with severe lower back pain, as if I've done heavy labor. I think it might be a gynecological inflammation issue?Doctor's answer:
General treatment and active treatment can completely eliminate susceptible factors. Always maintain external genital cleanliness and dryness, and avoid scratching. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, which is very effective. Change underwear frequently, or use warm water for disinfection. Never wash with other clothes to prevent cross-infection.Changes in vaginal pH can promote the growth of Candida, with the most suitable pH value being 5.5. The weakly acidic environment of the vagina helps maintain its self-cleaning function, with a normal range of 3.7-4.5. Therefore, using a female care liquid with a pH 4 weak acid formula not only excels in daily cleaning and regulation but also inhibits the growth of mold during illness. When using the toilet outside, use feminine hygiene wipes to dry the external genital area and keep it dry to inhibit the growth of Candida.
