Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower abdomen, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How can I improve the cleanliness of my vagina?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to pay attention to menstrual hygiene and maintain external genital cleanliness and dryness. Avoid scratching, soaking in hot water, and using soap. When infection occurs, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable and loose-fitting. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods. It is best to go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test to identify the specific inflammation and then treat accordingly. Pregnant women can eat pickled vegetables, and this has little impact on the fetus, so there is no need to worry. During pregnancy, due to taste preferences, some may have a tendency to eat spicy and stimulating foods, which is normal. It is still advisable to satisfy your cravings as much as possible, as this has minimal impact on the fetus, but it is best to consume them in moderation. Instead, focus on eating fresh vegetables and fruits.
