What anti-inflammatory medicine should I take for redness and swelling of the clitoral head

If the clitoris is red, swollen and painful, it is likely that you have vaginitis. However, since the disease is in the private part, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. After the diagnosis is confirmed, use medication under the guidance of a doctor. It is best not to use medication indiscriminately, as it may not only be of no benefit to the condition, but may also make the condition worse, missing the best treatment time and making treatment more difficult. If you take anti-inflammatory drugs, general anti-inflammatory drugs will be sufficient.

Symptoms of vulvitis:

1. After scratching nonspecific vulvitis, there will be local pain, which may be accompanied by low fever, fatigue, etc., and there will be obvious inflammation around the ulcer.

2. Vulvar tuberculosis and vulvar cancer may manifest as chronic ulcers.

3. Discomfort, itching, pain, and burning sensation in the vulva, which worsens during walking, working, cycling, urinating, and sexual intercourse.

4. The skin and mucous membranes of the vulva (including the labia majora, labia minora, and clitoris) may become swollen and congested to varying degrees. In severe cases, erosions, ulcers, or large areas of eczema may form, accompanied by painful urination.

5. Herpes virus infection: After the herpes breaks, it turns into ulcers accompanied by fever, swollen inguinal lymph nodes and general discomfort. The base of the ulcer is grayish yellow, with obvious congestion and edema. It may heal on its own but may also recur.

Several misunderstandings that cause vulvitis:

Misconception 1: The more frequently you clean your genitals every day, the better, as this will keep you healthy and comfortable.

Expert analysis: There is fecal fluid retained in the vaginal mucosa and it needs to be cleaned frequently. But the more often you wash, the better. Excessive cleaning will damage the protective film on the surface of the mucous membrane, making it dry, uncomfortable, and even itchy. Too frequent vaginal irrigation can easily lead to changes in the normal pH value and cause bacterial imbalance. Women who love cleanliness should pay attention to the frequency of irrigation to reduce the chance of illness.

Misconception 2: Leucorrhea is an unclean substance and must be cleaned absolutely and thoroughly.

Expert analysis: Normal leucorrhea is one of the signs of the health of the female reproductive system and is by no means unclean. Some women are accustomed to wrapping their fingers with "clean" wet wipes every time they wash their genitals. This will bring in pathogenic bacteria, increase leucorrhea and even cause serious gynecological inflammation.

Misconception 3: Vaginal cleaning and care should not be performed within three days after menstruation.

Expert analysis: Within three days after the end of menstruation, the vagina is most susceptible to infection and most in need of deep care and cleaning. Proper care can make women sleep peacefully throughout their menstrual cycle.

When vulvitis occurs, the patient's vulva will feel some pain and itching, which will have a great impact on the patient's life, especially when the patient walks, the pain will be aggravated. Vulvitis must be treated in time after it occurs.
