Vaginal pain and yellow, purulent discharge - what are the causes

Patient's question:

It was discovered about 2 days ago. Previously, I had sex with my boyfriend, and he helped me with masturbation. Then, I noticed pain at the vaginal opening, some redness and swelling, and abnormal white discharge, which was yellow.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this is a condition caused by vaginitis. Further examination is needed to determine if it is due to a fungal infection. A routine vaginal discharge test can confirm the diagnosis. Treatment generally involves maintaining local dryness and hygiene. Underwear should be loose, breathable, and frequently washed. Avoid scratching to prevent skin breakdown and secondary bacterial infection. After washing with baking soda solution, apply clotrimazole cream for treatment.
