Patient's question:
The day before menstruation, I started feeling uncomfortable in the external genital area. After menstruation started, the external genital area became swollen and painful, which was extremely uncomfortable. I did not seek medical attention.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be caused by an allergy. You need to use topical corticosteroid cream and take oral medications such as antihistamines, vitamins, and antibiotics for treatment. Avoid contact with any substances that may trigger an allergy. Refrain from consuming spicy, alcoholic, or other irritating foods. The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects the patient's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a vaginal examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
