Patient's question:
Medical Description: Recently, there has been an increase in leukorrhea, which is thick and odorless. The external genitalia are painless and itchy.History of Treatment and Effect: Previously, there was itching of the external genitalia. A certain brand of wash solution was used, and it later improved.
Help Needed: I want to know what might have caused this and whether further examination is necessary.
Doctor's answer:
Don't use scented toilet paper. To reduce irritation or sensitivity, use unscented hygiene products. Avoid using sanitary pads or toilet paper that have added fragrances. Additionally, do not indiscriminately use disinfectant solutions to clean the inside of the vagina to prevent irritation of the delicate skin, which may lead to local skin damage or even inflammation. Maintain regular exercise to strengthen your body; ensure adequate sleep, a balanced diet, and proper nutrition. Consume more foods rich in vitamins. Wipe the genital area from front to back, paying attention to cleanliness. Underwear should be washed frequently and thoroughly. When using toilet paper to clean the genital area after using the restroom, wipe from front to back to avoid transferring bacteria from the anus to the vagina, which may cause inflammation. If you develop vaginitis, follow your doctor's instructions and use the correct medication.
