Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Could checking for vaginitis cause problems with the cervix?Doctor's answer:
Hello, vaginitis. This is a common gynecological disease among married women. It is recommended to relax and maintain a positive mindset, pay attention to hygiene during sexual activity, and keep the external genital area clean and dry. During infection, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable and loose-fitting. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods. Regular health check-ups are recommended.For candidiasis vaginitis, it is first necessary to eliminate the causes that lead to recurrent vaginal candidal infections. The treatment duration should be extended, and multiple treatment methods should be used simultaneously. Local treatment can involve first using traditional Chinese herbal medicine for steam baths or sitz baths, followed by medication insertion into the vagina and applying antifungal ointment externally. Local treatment can be performed throughout the menstrual cycle, with medication cessation during menstruation and resuming after the period ends.
