How to treat vulvar itching, redness, swelling, and pain

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. How do I treat the itching, redness, swelling, and pain in my external genitalia?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description of the condition, the symptoms of vulvar itching, redness, swelling, and pain are generally more common in vulvitis and vaginitis. It is recommended to first undergo a gynecological examination and a routine vaginal discharge test. Based on the results of the examination, the cause should be identified, and then symptomatic treatment should be administered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain vulvar cleanliness and hygiene, wear loose, breathable, and soft cotton underwear to prevent friction, and avoid wearing synthetic leather or synthetic fiber underwear.
