Patient's question:
Patient Age: I have previously carefully examined the patient for candidal vaginitis and non-specific vulvitis. A few weeks ago, the patient experienced vulvar itching, and I used metronidazole injection for topical application for 8 days, which completely resolved the itching symptoms. However, a few days later, the vulva suddenly became red, swollen, and painful overnight. It has been twelve days now, and the condition has not improved, and there is also bleeding. What could have caused this? How should it be treated? I am very concerned. Diagnosis and Treatment MethodsDoctor's answer:
In your case, it is likely caused by the transmission of pathogenic bacteria. It is best for you to visit a gynecology department for a detailed examination of secretions to diagnose which type of vaginitis it is. Based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Vaginitis should be treated thoroughly to reduce the likelihood of recurrence. During treatment, sexual activity should be strictly prohibited, and local hygiene should be paid attention to. I hope my explanation helps you.
