Patient's question:
I went to a public bathhouse a while ago and after coming back, I noticed that my lower abdomen was itchy and my discharge had increased, turning yellow. Is this a sign of vaginitis or some other gynecological condition? I would like to consult an expert about the symptoms of gynecological diseases.Doctor's answer:
It seems there might be some inflammation, but the main thing is whether you've eaten cold things during your menstrual period? Don't worry too much, it's quite normal for women to have inflammation. During your period, you shouldn't have sexual activity. You can shower, but pay attention to hygiene in the vaginal area. Some sanitary pads aren't very clean, so you can just wash with clean water. Don't worry, you can avoid eating cold foods during your next period and see if the situation is the same as this time. If it still happens even when you haven't eaten cold things, you can go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test. It's not expensive, only 20 yuan, and it can determine if you have gynecological inflammation and what type it is. I wish you a speedy recovery and remember to relax and don't worry too much.
