Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How can the pH level of the vagina be changed?Doctor's answer:
The external genitalia and vagina can be rinsed with an alkaline solution to alter the vaginal pH, which will inhibit the growth and reproduction of fungi. A 2% to 4% baking soda solution can be used for vaginal rinsing, once or twice daily, with a 2-week course being one cycle. After rinsing, the external genitalia should be dried to maintain dryness, which helps inhibit the growth of Candida. Gynecological diseases not only affect women's lives but can also lead to the occurrence of gynecological conditions. It is best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a check-up, identify the cause, and receive targeted treatment. Daily life should involve drinking plenty of water and maintaining good personal hygiene.
