It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, especially local cleanliness, regular living habits, light diet, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is important to promptly undergo relevant tests at a formal hospital, such as external genital secretion tests and bacterial culture, to identify the condition clearly.
