Patient's question:
I had itching and dysuria in my lower abdomen after my period on the 26th of last month. At first, I took Sanjin tablets and Norfloxacin, but they didn't help. Later, I used Metronidazole for a few days, but it still didn't work. A few days ago, I had a urine test and a vaginal discharge test at the hospital. The urine test showed 3+ white blood cells. The vaginal discharge results were no Trichomonas vaginalis, 4+ epithelial cells, and 3+ pus cells. The lower abdomen examination showed external genitalia (-), moderate purulent vaginal discharge with yellow color, and bilateral adnexa (-). The preliminary diagnosis is vaginitis. The doctor prescribed me two boxes of Kangfu Xiaoyan, two boxes of Kushen, and two boxes of Kuyangshu wash liquid. After using it for more than a week, I feel that it hasn't had any effect at all. It's still itchy and causing dysuria. So, I would like to trouble the doctor here.Doctor's answer:
Hello, 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. Do not self-medicate blindly, as different types of vaginitis require different medications. Undergarments should not be washed together with shoe soles or socks. It is best to use a separate laundry container for underwear. After washing, underwear should be exposed to sunlight for drying. It is advisable for both partners to be treated simultaneously to prevent repeated transmission during sexual activity, which may lead to prolonged illness. Avoid sexual intercourse during the treatment period.
