Patient's question:
Married for over a year, I only started preparing to have a child in the past month and am currently trying to conceive. Recently, for the past two days, I've noticed itching in the external genital area, sometimes so severe that it makes it hard to sit or stand. After sexual intercourse, there's a sense of pain, and when I take a bath, I can carefully see red spots in a ring shape. A visit to the hospital revealed it to be ring-shaped vulvitis.Doctor's answer:
The hazards of vulvitis:1. Acute vulvar ulcers: Often caused by various types of vulvitis, they are usually a symptom of the disease progression.
2. Sexually transmitted diseases: During the development of conditions such as genital warts, chancroid, genital herpes, and gonorrhea, vulvar inflammation often occurs.
3. Bartholinitis: Common in women of childbearing age. It is caused by bacterial infections like staphylococcus, streptococcus, and E. coli, often leading to acute inflammation.
4. Fungal vulvitis: This type of vulvitis is caused by a yeast-like fungal infection and is often associated with fungal vaginitis.
5. Non-specific vulvitis: Irritant stimuli from daily life, poor hygiene, or weakened immunity can lead to bacterial infections in the vulvar area, causing vulvitis, such as cervical or vaginal inflammation.
6. Vulvitis in infants and children: After birth, newborns can have various bacteria in their vaginas 15 days later.
