Patient's question:
My white discharge has been abnormal recently. It's a thick, yellowish liquid with a slightly foul odor. Additionally, I feel itchy in my vagina and also itchy in the external genital area. When urinating, I only feel a slight discomfort. These symptoms have persisted for over a month, and I'm unsure if I might have a fungal vaginal infection.In what way can I seek help: Can gynecological inflammation be self-diagnosed?
Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis, using alkaline liquid to clean the external genitalia is effective, while using acidic liquid has no effect. It is also necessary to place medication inside the vagina for better results.It is recommended that you visit a gynecologist at the hospital. The doctor will prescribe medication for treating candidal vulvovaginitis, including vaginal insertion.
Pay attention to hygiene in daily life. Do not wash underwear and socks together. Dry underwear in the sun. During treatment, boil the underwear or soak it in disinfectant.
Vaginitis should not be treated with vinegar.
