Patient's question:
After giving birth, the vagina feels damp and itchy, especially at night when the itching becomes even worse! I don't know what's wrong. How should I treat this, and what medication would be best?Doctor's answer:
This is likely due to lower jiao damp-heat, with damp-heat descending, which is why the symptoms of vaginal dampness and itching may reappear. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral medications can be taken, and vaginal (vaginal is a term that needs to be translated as "vaginal" in English, but it is not a standard English term. It may be better to translate it as "vaginal" or "vaginal" for clarity. However, for the sake of consistency, I will keep it as "vaginal" in this translation) can be used for treatment. At the same time, personal hygiene should be paid attention to, and underwear should be changed frequently. Underwear should be frequently exposed to sunlight. In recent days, the diet should also be light, and spicy or greasy foods should be avoided.
