Question
After giving birth, I’ve been experiencing vaginal discharge and itching, especially worse at night. I’m not sure what’s going on. How should I treat this, and what medication would be best?
Answer
This condition is likely due to damp-heat in the lower body, which leads to the recurrence of vaginal discharge and itching. Under a doctor’s guidance, you can take some oral medications and use some vaginal rinse solutions for treatment. At the same time, you should pay attention to your personal hygiene, change your underwear frequently, and ensure that your underwear is regularly exposed to sunlight. Your diet should also be light, avoiding spicy, greasy foods.
