Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I have always been quite meticulous about my hygiene, changing my underwear every day, but it seems my vaginal discharge is problematic. The discharge is quite heavy, and when I'm not on my period, it's somewhat watery. For most days of the month, my vulva is not dry but always feels wet. Sometimes, a sudden blob of light green discharge will flow out, accompanied by a strange odor. During my periods, if my vulva is too moist, it can be painful! I don't know what's wrong.Medical history: Two years ago, I was diagnosed with vaginitis. At that time, I was still a virgin, and the doctor said it wasn't a big deal. But now I have had three instances of incomplete sexual intercourse and one instance of complete intercourse.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, vaginitis is a general term for various inflammatory diseases of the vaginal mucosa caused by different etiologies. Under normal physiological conditions, the anatomical and biochemical characteristics of the vaginal tissue are sufficient to defend against external microbial invasion. If this defense is compromised, pathogens can take advantage of the situation and, due to various factors, lead to vaginal inflammation.
