Patient's question:
I have had tuberculosis and have been taking medication for it. Half a month ago, I suddenly had a high fever, but I didn't catch a cold or feel cold. I also felt chest tightness and pain. By the third day, the fever subsided, but I felt discomfort in my groin and a burning pain in my vulva, with a small amount of blood discharge. I was terrified and went to the hospital, where they said I had tuberculous vaginitis. How should tuberculous vaginitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Tuberculous vaginitis primarily originates from pulmonary tuberculosis and peritoneal tuberculosis, and there are three causes and pathways that lead to tuberculous vaginitis: 1. Hematogenous dissemination: Patients with a history of active pulmonary tuberculosis, renal tuberculosis, or bone tuberculosis spread the infection through the bloodstream. 2. Direct extension: Severe pelvic tuberculosis spreads upward to infect the cervix and vagina. 3. Primary infection: Due to severe testicular tuberculosis, seminal vesicle tuberculosis, or ulcerative lymph node tuberculosis in males. In addition to immediate treatment, patients with vaginitis also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood greatly assists in the complete recovery from the disease.
