Patient's question:
Female, 20 years old. My daughter has no sexual life, and I am also quite attentive to her hygiene. However, recently the young girl has been experiencing vulvar itching, which has affected her studies and caused her great distress. Please ask: What causes vulvar itching after sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
Consider itchy external genitalia caused by vaginal inflammatory secretions stimulating the vulva. There are many pathogens that can cause vaginitis, such as bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, and candidiasis, all of which may lead to abnormal vaginal discharge and vulvar itching. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a vaginal discharge examination to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment. Patients should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of infection.
