Patient's question:
A 33-year-old woman, after getting sick, found that taking medicine had little effect and she still felt uncomfortable. Please ask: What causes itching around the vaginal opening?Doctor's answer:
Most cases of vaginal itching are due to vaginal inflammation. Is it possible that it's just simple itching caused by wearing leather pants or using sanitary pads? If so, removing the trigger should resolve the issue. However, if the itching is due to excessive discharge or external vaginal inflammation, it's still necessary to visit a hospital for a thorough examination to check for other infections. If vaginal inflammation is present, additional medication treatment should be administered based on the type of inflammation.
