Patient's question:
I have a relatively frequent sexual relationship with my husband. Recently, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I had a urinary tract infection. After taking medication, I feel much better. However, I noticed some growths around my vagina that look like flesh growths. Could you please help me understand what they are? I am very worried!First follow-up question:
Detailed medical history and purpose of consultation: Recently while taking a bath, I noticed some small granulations around the urethral opening and above the vaginal opening. They don’t cause any pain or itching! I’m not sure how long they’ve been there (I never noticed them before). Is this normal? If not, what kind of condition could it be, and how should it be treated? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you go to a formal hospital for a routine leukorrhea test to further clarify which type of vaginitis it is, so that effective treatment measures can be considered. Your husband can clean the glans with physiological saline and apply erythromycin ointment locally to see how effective it is. During treatment, avoid sexual intercourse to prevent cross-infection, change underwear frequently, wear loose cotton underwear, frequently sterilize underwear with boiling water, and eat less spicy and irritating foods. Avoid alcohol, smoking, and other substances.
