Patient's question:
Abnormal white discharge, obvious burning pain at the urethral orifice, swelling of the urethral orificeDoctor's answer:
Hello, in general, the main symptoms of non-specific vaginitis in women are abnormal vaginal discharge, itching of the external genitalia or vagina, and increased secretions.Recommendations: However, the manifestations of different types of vaginitis caused by different etiologies also vary.
1. Purulent vaginal discharge: One of the symptoms of non-specific vaginitis is an increase in vaginal discharge, which is also a common occurrence in most types of vaginitis. The discharge in non-specific vaginitis is often grayish-white, with low viscosity, fine foamy particles, and a foul odor. The odor may worsen after sexual intercourse.
2. Stimulation of the urethral opening by secretions: Increased secretions are also a symptom of most types of vaginitis. In non-specific vaginitis, the discharge is purulent or serous, and the volume is significant. Therefore, sometimes the secretions may stimulate the urethral opening, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, and dysuria.
3. External genital discomfort and lower abdominal pain: Some women with non-specific vaginitis may experience discomfort of the external genitalia, vaginal itching, and a burning sensation. This is primarily caused by increased vaginal discharge. Some patients with non-specific vaginitis may also experience lower abdominal pain and difficulty during sexual intercourse.
