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. Could you please tell me what causes pain in the private area?Doctor's answer:
It could be vaginitis. Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and submucosal connective tissue, a common disease in gynecology clinics. Common types of vaginitis include bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, and candidiasis. Clinically, vaginitis is characterized by changes in the nature of vaginal discharge and itching, burning, or pain in the external genitalia. Based on your symptoms, it is primarily due to endocrine imbalance leading to decreased menstrual flow, which falls under the category of blood stasis syndrome. Treatment should focus on promoting blood circulation, resolving blood stasis, and regulating menstruation. You can take modified Taohong Siwu Decoction. Your diet should be light and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
