Patient's question:
I got vaginitis a while ago. I can't quite describe what it feels like, but it was very painful. I took medicine, had intravenous drips, and even had a wash. Finally, I was cured. Now I'm basically all better, but do I still need treatment? Do I need a thorough check-up?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching, with a significant amount of white, curd-like discharge, is the main symptom of this condition. It may be accompanied by a burning sensation in the vagina, urinary urgency, dysuria, and pain during intercourse. When symptoms are severe, the patient may be restless and in extreme pain. A careful examination reveals vaginal swelling, where the epidermis may be peeled off, and there may be scratch marks. The inner side of the labia minora and vaginal mucosa may be covered with white, membranous substances. After wiping them off, the vaginal mucosa may appear red, swollen, or eroded, with superficial ulcers. The typical discharge is white, clumpy, and curd-like, with a foul odor. It is necessary to return for reexamination at least one week after stopping medication.Additionally, during the treatment of vaginitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient must ensure adequate vitamin intake, prevent gastrointestinal issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above information can assist you.
