Hello: Vulvitis and vaginitis are different conditions. The symptoms of vulvitis are typically itching of the external genitalia. In the case you mentioned, it is unlikely to be caused by vulvitis. However, cervical diseases, chronic endometritis, and cervical polyps can also present with symptoms of blood-tinged discharge. When blood streaks are present in the discharge, it is important to be vigilant.It is recommended that you visit a reputable hospital for examination to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment. Avoid self-medication or using medications without a proper diagnosis, as this may lead to unnecessary complications.
In daily life, pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and use boiling water to wash used underwear, basins, towels, etc. Allow them to dry in the sunlight. Avoid spicy, irritating foods and seafood, and refrain from sexual activity.
