Patient's question:
Yesterday I went to the gynecology department of the hospital for a check-up on my vaginal discharge. The test revealed yeast-like bacteria, and the doctor said it was vaginitis, prescribing me external medication. This is my first time getting this condition, and I'm quite worried about it. I don't know how I might have contracted it. What could cause vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
The vagina is connected to the perineum. Alkaline soap or disinfectant is usually used to clean the external genitalia, which may also lead to vaginal dysbiosis and cause diseases. As the name suggests, crotch vaginalitis is caused by frequently wearing leather pants, crotch and hip triangle pants, and high-elasticity tight pants. Girls playing on the ground or crawling on the ground, or inserting fingers directly into the vagina, or placing foreign objects, can cause industrial pollution of the external genitalia and vagina, leading to vaginitis. Vaginitis generally occurs after menstruation or sexual intercourse.
