Painful urination in the vagina

When urinating, there is a stinging sensation in the genitals, which is most likely a symptom caused by vulvitis. Vulvitis is also a private health problem that troubles many women. When such a problem occurs, timely symptomatic treatment is needed, otherwise it will endanger the health of women's private parts to a greater extent. Next, I will introduce you to some relevant knowledge about vulvitis!

1. Causes of the disease

1. Exogenous infection pathogens may be Escherichia coli, Trichomonas, fungi, viruses, etc.

2. Foreign body stimulation such as urine, feces, menstrual blood, abnormal vaginal secretions, etc.

3. Local symptoms of systemic diseases such as diabetes.

2. Typical symptoms

The vulvar skin may experience itching, pain, burning sensation, and even swelling, rashes, erosions, and ulcers. If the disease lasts for a long time, the skin may become thickened, rough, cracked, and even become lichenified. Common types of vulvitis include:

1. Nonspecific vulvitis: mostly mixed infection of Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Escherichia coli.

2. Fungal vulvitis: It often exists together with fungal vaginitis. Okara-like secretions can be seen, and the surface of the lesions is sometimes covered with white moss-like substances.

3. Vulvitis in infants and young children: The vulvar skin and mucous membranes become red, itchy and painful, which may lead to adhesion of the labia.

4. Bartholin's gland inflammation: The labia majora on one side becomes red, swollen, hot and painful, and a lump forms in the lower 1/3 of the labia majora, which is fluctuating and tender, indicating a Bartholin's gland abscess. Abscesses sometimes burst on their own.

3. Treatment Methods

1. Treatment policy

Actively and effectively treat the primary disease and provide local symptomatic treatment.

2. Drug treatment

Local treatment: Keep the vulva clean and dry and avoid adverse stimulation. Choose different liquid medicines for sitting baths, and apply antibiotic ointments, antifungal preparations, etc. to the vulva. Antibiotics can be used appropriately for patients with fever and increased white blood cell count.

3. Other treatments

General treatment: Keep the vulva clean and dry and avoid adverse stimulation. It is recommended to wear loose cotton underwear to avoid various irritations; pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulva clean and dry.

4. Prognosis
