Doctor's answer:

Hello, vaginitis is often caused by bacterial infections and is commonly characterized by itching in the genital area, abnormal vaginal discharge with a foul odor. It is recommended to undergo a routine vaginal discharge test. After determining the type of vaginitis, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Daily hygiene should be maintained to keep the lower part clean. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided. Alternatively, use condoms to prevent reinfection.
