Patient's question:
The last menstrual period was on October 10th, and it hasn't come yet. I have condylomas and chronic cervical inflammation. The condylomas have been treated, and a follow-up check-up is scheduled for mid-December. The cervical inflammation is still being treated. Previously, I had been taking anti-inflammatory pills and menstrual regulation medication. About two weeks ago, I used two doses of Andafen suppositories and then stopped. For nearly two weeks, I've been feeling a slight pain deep in the vagina, near the cervix, and there has been coffee-colored discharge, sometimes with a small amount of blood. What could be the reason? Is it severe cervical inflammation or irregular menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend! Vaginitis is mainly caused by three types of infections: trichomoniasis, candidiasis, and bacterial infections. It depends on what type of infection is causing the vaginitis. Different infections require different medications. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test to confirm the diagnosis and then start treatment.Pay attention to the following:
a. Maintain hygiene, clean the external genitalia daily, and change underwear frequently. Boil underwear and towels after use, and frequently sun dry bedding.
b. Avoid scratching. If there are symptoms of external genital itching, you can use traditional Chinese medicine for external genital washing and sitz bath. Avoid scratching to prevent skin and mucosal damage of the external genitalia, which may lead to secondary infections.
c. Stop sexual activity.
d. Avoid spicy foods.
