Redness, swelling, and pain begin to appear on the skin near the vagina, what are the possible causes?

Patient's question:

Since my menstrual period, the skin around my vagina has started showing signs of redness, swelling, and pain, and my vaginal discharge has increased with a bad odor. Please help me, doctors. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

According to your condition, you can be treated with anti-infective drugs. Additionally, you can receive symptomatic treatment by intravenous infusion of ceftriaxone sodium and metronidazole solution. During the treatment period, it is prohibited to have unhealthy lifestyle habits to avoid cross-infection and prolonged healing. Pay attention to avoiding smoking, alcohol, seafood, beef, and lamb. Wait and see after a few days of treatment. The occurrence of vaginitis not only affects a woman's life but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a gynecological examination to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods. Avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
