Patient's question:
After the divorce, I have been very careful about personal hygiene, but in the past two years, the vaginal area has often felt unclean. Now, a gray discharge with a fishy odor has reappeared, and there is some swelling and unbearable itching in the lower part. I went to the gynecology department of the hospital, and the doctor said it was vaginitis, advising early treatment to prevent any complications from recurring.Doctor's answer:
1. Give up the harm of antibiotics; antibiotics may inhibit some beneficial bacteria, and fungi will take advantage of this to multiply.2. Wash underwear separately; if family members or oneself suffers from tinea pedis, onychomycosis, etc., it is easy to cause cross-infection of fungi.
3. Wash the external genitalia correctly; use a weakly acidic feminine care liquid with a pH of 4 or plain water for washing.
4. Dietary adjustment; the diet should be light, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, to prevent the generation of damp-heat or the consumption of yin-blood.
5. Mental and physical conditioning; patients with vaginitis should stabilize their emotions, cultivate a pleasant temperament, strengthen exercise, enhance physical fitness, and reduce their immune function.
For patients, if the condition of gynecological diseases is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be provided with proper medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of gynecological diseases. Additionally, patients need to maintain a cheerful mood to avoid worsening the condition.
