Patient's question:
34 years old this year, recently I've always felt pain in my lower abdomen and soreness in my waist. Also, my private area has been very uncomfortable, with itching and burning, especially in the afternoon, it's really unbearable. Please ask: What are the symptoms of candidal vulvovaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is a symptom caused by various different reasons. Elderly women may experience vaginal itching due to an increase in estrogen levels in their bodies, thinning of the vaginal epidermis, swelling of the vaginal epithelium, insufficient vaginal discharge, dry or unclean external genitalia, and mechanical or alkaline irritation. Additionally, conditions such as those affecting the ovaries, uterus, or vagina often lead to itching of the external genitalia due to increased vaginal discharge irritating the skin.In addition to treatment, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take care to stay warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water. A healthy lifestyle also helps in preventing the occurrence of diseases.
