Patient's question:
I clean my vagina regularly with metronidazole. Will my itching in the groin area be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there is severe itching inside the vagina, and I suspect it might be vaginitis. Additionally, pain during urination is likely due to inflammatory leukorrhea irritating the urethral opening, or it could even lead to a urinary tract infection. A check-up a while ago revealed pelvic inflammatory disease, which is entirely different from vaginitis. It's important to see a doctor as soon as possible for a gynecological examination, including a leukorrhea test and a urinalysis, to identify the causative pathogens. Based on the test results, a clear diagnosis can be made, and treatment can be targeted at the root cause. With proper medication, symptoms should improve quickly.Note: It is essential to undergo targeted treatment after testing and avoid self-medication. Additionally, during treatment, sexual activity should be avoided. Both partners should be tested and treated simultaneously to prevent mutual transmission and prolonged unresolved symptoms.
