Patient's question:
It suddenly hurt very much last night, but it wasn't itchy (I haven't had sexual activity for this period of time). It should be because I injured my leg severely a few days ago and couldn't touch water, then I didn't change or wash my underwear for two days. That's likely how I got infected. Today, during the day, it itches and hurts when I touch it, but it's okay when I don't touch it. My discharge is grainy and yellow. Today, I bought Jieryin and Yin'ershu by myself, but my external genital area is still itchy and painful. I want to ask if there's any ointment I can apply. I can't go to the hospital right now, so I can only ask my family to buy medicine back. Please help me out. I want to apply something to stop the itching and pain! Thank you very much!Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you experience itching in the general area of the vulva, abnormal discharge, or excessive secretions, it could be caused by vaginitis. Vaginitis can be classified as fungal vaginitis or bacterial vaginitis. It is recommended to have a check-up for a routine vaginal discharge test after your menstrual period is clean for 3-7 days. Once the type of vaginitis is confirmed, symptomatic treatment is more effective. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
