Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What kind of vaginal wash should be used for vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Most vulvar itching is caused by excessive abnormal vaginal discharge, which irritates the vulva due to trichomoniasis or fungal infections. If antiseptic solutions are used to rinse the vulva, vagina, or if certain medications (such as sulfonamides, furacilin, highly alkaline soaps, or potassium permanganate solutions) are placed inside the vagina, it may cause allergic reactions or dermatitis of the vulvar skin, also leading to vulvar itching. During menstruation, if hygiene is not maintained or rubber or plastic menstrual pads are used without frequent vulvar cleaning, menstrual blood or vaginal secretions may accumulate in the vulvar area for a long time. Alternatively, wearing synthetic underwear can keep the vulva in a consistently moist and warm environment, often causing vulvar itching. It is recommended to visit a formal hospital's gynecology department for pathological examinations of vaginal or cervical secretions to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment.
