Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
The main symptoms of acute vulvitis include the following:
1. Local itching and pain: Patients may experience noticeable itching and pain in the vulvar area, with discomfort often worsening after physical activity, sexual intercourse, or urination.
2. Redness, swelling, and congestion: Due to inflammatory stimulation, the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva become swollen and congested, resulting in visible redness and swelling.
3. Erosion and ulceration: In severe cases, the vulvar skin may develop erosions and ulcers, accompanied by pain and bleeding.
4. Other symptoms: Some patients may also experience additional symptoms such as eczema, dysuria (painful urination), and dyspareunia (pain during intercourse).
If these symptoms occur, prompt medical attention is recommended. Professional evaluation and treatment can help relieve symptoms and prevent potential complications.
