Patient's question:
I have a very frequent sex life with my husband. Recently, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I had a urinary tract infection. After taking medication, I feel much better. However, I noticed some growths around my vagina that look like flesh growths. Could you please help me understand what they are? I am very worried!First follow-up question:
Detailed medical history and purpose of consultation: Recently while taking a bath, I noticed some small granulations around the urethral opening and above the vaginal opening. They don’t cause any pain or itching! I’m not sure how long they’ve been there (I never noticed them before). Is this normal? If not, what kind of condition is it, and how should it be treated? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
This symptom is most commonly caused by local moisture, and the cause and transmission of this condition are related. A preliminary diagnosis may be vaginitis or genital herpes. During treatment, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity to prevent cross-infection. In severe cases, potassium permanganate can be used for cleaning and observation. It is best to seek timely treatment.
