What kind of examination should be done if there are small bumps and itching in the vagina?

I believe that most female comrades will be troubled by gynecological problems. The most common situation is abnormal vaginal discharge, itching in the lower body and other discomfort symptoms. The growth of small bumps in the genitals and severe itching at the same time is also a very common gynecological phenomenon. If gynecological abnormalities occur, you need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Let's learn about what kind of examination items need to be done when such phenomena occur.

1. Gynecological examination: Through routine gynecological examination, preliminary screening of possible sexual diseases is performed, and secretion samples are taken for necessary examinations.

2. Vaginal secretion examination: Check the cleanliness of the vagina and whether there is infection with fungi, trichomonas, or bacteria (clue cells, pus cells).

3. Vaginal secretion culture: Check which pathogen is causing the infection and provide doctors with accurate diagnosis basis.

4. Drug sensitivity test: Detect which drugs the pathogens are sensitive to, so that targeted medication can be used to improve treatment effects.

5. Electronic colposcopy can magnify 50 times to accurately and clearly observe relevant lesions in the vagina, cervix and other parts, and accurately select suspicious parts for live examination. It is of great value for the early detection and early diagnosis of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions.

Laboratory examinations are very necessary for the diagnosis of the disease. Laboratory examinations include smear, amine test, culture method, biochemical method, fluorescent antibody method, etc. Smear method and amine test are simple and easy to operate laboratory methods, which are very helpful for diagnosis. If conditions permit, culture or fluorescent antibody test can be performed.

(1) Smear microscopy: Clue cells can be found by taking a smear of secretions. Clue cells are epithelial cells with a large number of Gardnerella attached to their surface. The characteristic of clue cells is that the surface of the epithelial cells is rough or has fine particles, as if sprinkled with a layer of flour. The bacteria are Gram-negative coccobacilli.

(2) Amine test: Add a drop of 10% potassium hydroxide solution to vaginal secretions. You can smell the release of a "fishy" ammonia. This is because the secretions contain a high amount of amines, which can release an ammonia smell when exposed to alkali.

(3) The culture method should be carried out by separation before culture. Round, opaque, smooth-surfaced colonies with a diameter of 0.5 mm can be seen.

(4) Biochemical method: Vaginal secretions are taken for biochemical analysis. Normal women have high lactate levels and low succinate levels, while women with this disease have the opposite values.

(5) Fluorescent antibody method: After smear, use fluorescent antibody to stain and examine under a microscope.

Female friends who have gynecological problems should pay attention to prevention and care:

1. Keep the vulva clean.

2. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment.

3. The diet should be light and avoid spicy and greasy food.

You should eat more light food, avoid drinking, smoking, and spicy food. Eating more food that has the effect of removing dampness, such as winter melon, watermelon, red bean, etc., is beneficial to the recovery of this disease.

The above content introduces in detail the necessary examination items for female friends. Gynecologists need to be selected according to the patient's symptoms. Gynecological diseases will bring a lot of inconvenience to the body and life of female comrades. It is hoped that patients can actively undergo examinations and cooperate with the doctor's requirements for treatment. The treatment needs to be thorough, otherwise repeated cross-infection is likely to occur.
