Patient's question:
There are some small cracks near the anus, running inward from the anus. At first, they were not noticed, but later, there were small cracks near both the anus and the vaginal opening. The discharge has turned yellow with a bad odor, and intercourse is extremely painful. Could this be a symptom of vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms of vaginitis, such as increased vaginal discharge, foul-smelling discharge, and external genital itching, are common characteristics of various types of vaginitis in clinical practice. However, different types of vaginitis may reflect varying states of vaginal discharge and degrees of external genital itching. When vaginitis infection involves the urethra, symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, and urinary pain may also occur.Advice: It is recommended that you visit a hospital promptly for a vaginal discharge test and ultrasound examination to determine which type of inflammation it is. Then, symptomatic treatment can be administered. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to sexual hygiene during daily life.
