Patient's question:
Medical Description: Itching of the vulva with brown discharge, but I went for a check-up on August 8th. The doctor said it was cervical erosion. After treatments like pelvic therapy and BOM light, the vulva stopped itching. However, on the 11th after returning, I had vaginal bleeding—possibly my period. Now it's not bleeding anymore, but the hospital called me yesterday to go back. When I went yesterday, the doctor said I had mycoplasma infection and gave me shortwave treatment, costing 440 yuan. But I'm not in pain or itching anymore, and I'm not bleeding either. Do I still need to go to the hospital?History of Treatment and Effectiveness: Had shortwave, red light, BOM light, and pelvic therapy.
What Help Do You Want: Am I being scammed by that hospital?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the occurrence of abnormal external genital itching and discharge, the possibility of vaginitis is relatively high.Recommendations: Your condition requires a gynecological examination to confirm the cause, followed by symptomatic treatment. It's essential to maintain good personal hygiene and avoid spicy foods.
If you experience brownish discharge about a week after your period instead of during your period, it is likely ovulation bleeding. This is normal and will subside in a few days. For external genital itching, you can use Jieryin for cleaning and then apply erythromycin ointment, which can help relieve the itching.
