Patient's question:
I used to have vaginitis before, and I always paid close attention to my hygiene. Recently, it seems to be recurring a bit—my stomach often hurts, and sometimes I feel extremely uncomfortable. My lower back also aches quite severely. The doctor said I need to take good care of myself. How should women with gynecological inflammation take care of themselves?Doctor's answer:
Hello, pay attention to menstrual hygiene. It is essential to avoid sexual intercourse, swimming, and tub baths during menstruation, as well as using unclean sanitary pads, to prevent gynecological infections. Avoid excessive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, which can lead to an imbalance in the normal vaginal flora. Additionally, pay attention to regular exercise to enhance physical health. Underwear and pants should be soft, loose, and wide, preferably made of cotton, and avoid wearing close-fitting clothing made of down, nylon, or wool. Also, avoid washing underwear with socks.
