Patient's question:
After I and my husband finished, I felt a lot of pain around the vaginal opening. I checked myself and found redness, swelling, and rupture. My labia majora were also red, and the vaginal opening was extremely itchy. I suspect I might have some kind of disease. Now, even sitting at work is uncomfortable. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is commonly seen in cases of vaginitis. It is recommended to check a routine vaginal discharge test. Once the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment can be administered. Avoid self-medication blindly, as different types of vaginitis require different medications.Suggestions:
- Underwear and socks should not be washed together with shoes. It is best to use a separate laundry container for underwear. After washing, underwear should be exposed to sunlight for drying.
- Both partners should be treated simultaneously to prevent repeated transmission during sexual activity, which may lead to prolonged illness.
- Abstain from sexual activity during treatment.
