Patient's question:
I only recently noticed that my waist has been a bit painful, a bit painful, (this has been going on for a while) symptoms, who can explain this and provide some treatment suggestions.Doctor's answer:
If you are a woman, the possibility of vaginitis is high. Generally, vaginitis can be classified into several types:1. Candidal Vaginitis: It includes symptoms such as itching of the external genitalia and vaginal area, cheese-like or curd-like vaginal discharge, and white pseudomembranes in the vagina. A positive fungal test result is observed.
2. Bacterial Vaginosis:
① Non-purulent grayish-white viscous vaginal discharge;
② Vaginal discharge with a fishy odor, and a positive amine test;
③ Elevated vaginal discharge pH value (5.0–5.5);
④ Clue cells in the discharge.
3. Mold Vaginitis is caused by infection with Candida albicans, a type of mold. It is more common in pregnant women and diabetic patients.
The main symptoms of mold vaginitis include burning pain in the external genitalia, increased vaginal discharge, and the emission of curd-like or bean curd-like vaginal secretions. A smear test of the vaginal discharge can reveal Candida albicans, confirming the diagnosis.
Oral medications such as nystatin, miconazole, and ketoconazole are effective. Vaginal suppositories can also be used. Additionally, it is recommended to rinse the vagina and clean the external genitalia 1–2 times daily with an alkaline solution, such as a 2%–4% baking soda solution.
