Why is the mucous membrane of the vaginal opening always red

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. Why is the mucous membrane around the vaginal opening always red?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your condition is considered to be a possible case of vaginitis, primarily characterized by increased vaginal discharge and external genital itching. You can undergo a routine vaginal discharge test to aid in diagnosis. Then, depending on the specific type, medication can be used for vaginal insertion treatment. During the treatment period, sexual activity should be avoided, and hygiene of the perineal area should be maintained. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
The occurrence of this condition is related to the shrinkage of the uterus after menopause. It is recommended that you undergo a hysteroscopy after half a month to determine the position of the intrauterine device (IUD) and remove it under the hysteroscope.
