Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is it okay to rinse the external genitalia and vagina with clean water every day?Doctor's answer:
Hello, cleaning the external genital area daily is a step in maintaining personal hygiene, which is not harmful, but it is best to avoid douching, as this can alter the vaginal environment. It is recommended to use saline solutions or add medications like Fuyanjie for cleaning to prevent inflammation and infection.The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's physical health but can also lead to further complications. Therefore, it is advisable to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for a routine examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Additionally, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
