Patient's question:
My wife is 64 years old. In the past two years, she has experienced vaginal dryness and a burning sensation at the vaginal opening when urinating. Observation revealed cracks in the vaginal opening and also in the perineum. During sexual intercourse, the pain is excruciating, like on wounds. She had previously visited a local hospital's gynecology department and was told she had inflammation, requiring anti-inflammatory treatment and estrogen supplementation. The doctor prescribed a topical cream, which provided some relief but did not lead to a complete cure.Doctor's answer:
Vitamin B2 is an important nutrient in the human body. If it is lacking, it will affect the metabolism of skin and mucous membranes, causing the body's organs to lose normal function. Its symptoms often manifest as inflammation of the corners of the mouth, blepharitis, conjunctivitis, dryness of the nasal and ear mucosa, dry skin, and scaling. Its deficiency is particularly severe in damaging female reproductive organs,、. If you notice these symptoms on your body, it is best to first visit the gynecology department of a hospital.
