Patient's question:
What methods are most effective for treating elderly vaginitis, and what should be paid attention to in daily life? What dietary sensitivities should be avoided? How can underwear be sterilized properly?Doctor's answer:
Senile vaginitis is caused by the decline in ovarian function, reduced estrogen levels, vaginal wall expansion, increased glycogen in epithelial cells, weakened local resistance, and the easy invasion of pathogenic bacteria, leading to inflammation. It manifests as increased vaginal discharge, external genital itching, a burning sensation, and thin, pale yellow vaginal discharge. Treatment requires inhibiting bacterial growth and enhancing vaginal resistance. It is recommended to first undergo a gynecological examination to determine the type of inflammation. After diagnosis, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Wishing you good health.
