Patient's question:
I have been experiencing a foul odor in my leukorrhea for two years. When the leukorrhea dries, it turns yellow. Sometimes, I have short-term external itching or a stinging sensation in the inner vagina. However, due to financial difficulties, can I be cured by taking medication? How is vaginitis treated?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is considered that a vaginal infection has been transmitted. It is recommended to perform a routine vaginal discharge test to accurately identify which type of vaginal infection it is, and then treat it accordingly. Keep the external genital area clean and dry. Avoid scratching, soaking in hot water, and using soap. If an infection is present, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable and loose-fitting. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods. If the condition does not improve, temporarily refrain from sexual activity. In addition to treating the vaginal infection, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a relaxed mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
