Patient's question:

Recently, I experienced excessive endocrine discharge again. In addition to the continuous increase of red, sticky, yellow secretions, I also had recurring urinary urgency and pain for several months. Even though I don't drink much water during the day, the condition still frequently recurs, with blood in the urine becoming more severe than before. Later, it was discovered that I had vaginal cancer and required surgical treatment. Does vaginal cancer surgery affect sexual function?

Doctor's answer:

In clinical diagnosis, if it is confirmed that a woman has vaginal cancer, in order to prevent the spread of cancer cells and the threat to her life and health, it is necessary to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. Therefore, to prevent the recurrence of vaginal cancer, women should have regular health check-ups at the hospital annually to avoid the possibility of not being detected in time if they develop vaginal cancer, which could delay the condition. Moreover, for male patients, they should immediately go to a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
