Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I haven't been feeling well these days. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with a gynecological disease. I'd like to ask, what causes external itching and is it treatable with medication?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description. Most cases of vulvar itching are caused by an increase in vaginal discharge flowing to the vulva, leading to inflammation. Anti-inflammatory treatment is necessary. For your condition, you can visit a gynecology clinic to have a routine vaginal discharge test to check the causative pathogens of the vaginal inflammation. Then, based on the type of pathogens, symptomatic treatment can be administered. In daily life, it is essential to avoid extreme hunger or fullness and never overeat or binge drink.
