Patient's question:
I just started my period and it's only been two months. But recently, I've been experiencing some strange symptoms downstairs. There's a lot of white discharge, and it's very itchy inside my vagina. I feel uncomfortable all day long. I did some research and think it might be vaginitis. What should I do if I get vaginitis during puberty?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and submucosal connective tissue, a common disease in gynecological clinics. Please never ignore vaginitis, as it is not just a minor symptom; sometimes it can hide potential risks, such as cervical erosion or pelvic inflammatory disease. These issues should not be overlooked. While treating vaginitis, it is also important to actively address other conditions that can lead to vaginitis. Maintain dry and clean external genitalia, and avoid scratching the vaginal area, as this can easily lead to secondary infections. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited during treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. In addition to treating vaginitis, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and speed up recovery.
