Patient's question:
Every time you wash the lower part, the area of the vagina that you can touch with your hand feels like small pits and holes. Is this not normal? What symptom is it? Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
The vagina is located between the bladder, urethra, and rectum, forming a slightly flattened muscular canal with great elasticity. It is situated centrally at the outlet of the small pelvis and serves as a direct, slightly flattened muscular canal connecting the internal and external genitalia (uterus and vulva). Normally, the anterior and posterior walls are pressed together, forming a slit-like structure. The upper end opens into the cervical canal, while the lower end opens into the vaginal vestibule. The occurrence of bacterial vaginosis not only affects a woman's physical health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for a vaginal examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light and easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
