Patient's question:
My wife is 35 years old and is pregnant with her second child. Recently, she has been having trouble sleeping at night, tossing and turning, and doesn't know what to do about it.Question: Why is there itching down there after being pregnant for eight months?
Doctor's answer:
Itching in the groin area is likely caused by inflammation. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test to check if there is vaginitis or vulvitis. The doctor will prescribe medications suitable for pregnant women for treatment. Avoid self-medication blindly to prevent affecting the fetus. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear daily, and wipe the groin area with clean water or mild salt water every night. Wear breathable and comfortable underwear. Avoid greasy, spicy, and irritating foods.
