Patient's question:
In the past two months, there has been an increase in leukorrhea, and sometimes the external genitalia may itch. However, I have already seen a doctor and taken Fuji disease wash, toxic vaginal suppositories, and anti-women's capsules, but the condition has not improved. What could be causing the increased leukorrhea and itching of the external genitalia?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, there may be a possibility of vaginitis. It is best to go to a formal hospital for a thorough examination of vaginal secretions to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Vaginitis is a mixed infection caused by the imbalance of normal flora in the vagina, which can be accompanied by itching of the external genitalia and abnormal changes in the amount and color of vaginal discharge.For bacterial vaginosis, treatment options include:
- Oral metronidazole 400mg, taken 2-3 times daily, alternating for 7 days;
- Oral clindamycin 300mg, taken twice daily, alternating for 7 days.
Local vaginal medication: Metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets 200mg, used once nightly, alternating for 7-10 days.
