How is vaginitis caused?

Patient's question:

What is vaginitis? I've had itchy external genitalia and a slightly itchy vaginal opening recently. My vaginal discharge is yellow sometimes watery, and sometimes sticky! My period ended on the 26th. For the past few days, I've been using Dafuning liquid and inserting medication into the vagina, but it hasn't improved after four or five days! Previously, one or two treatments would usually do the trick, but this time it hasn't gotten better!

Doctor's answer:

Hello: There are many pathogens that can cause itching and inflammation due to vulvitis or vaginitis, such as fungi, bacteria, trichomonas, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc. Before treatment, it is necessary to first examine and confirm the specific condition to prescribe targeted medication.
Advice: It is recommended to wash the external genital area daily with warm water, change underwear frequently, wash underwear in a separate basin, and expose it to sunlight after washing. Avoid spicy foods, sanitary pads, synthetic underwear, scratching, or using hot water to wash. If there is no improvement, seek medical attention promptly.
