How to deal with persistent itching in the external genital area

Patient's question:

I am 28 years old. Recently, for the past week, I have been experiencing itching in the external genital area, which is particularly uncomfortable. At first, it started with pain, then it turned into itching, and it has persisted for a week.

Doctor's answer:

Candidal vulvovaginitis is a common gynecological infection, associated with poor hygiene, unclean sexual behavior, athlete's foot, and the use of unclean sanitary products. It tends to recur easily. It is recommended that you visit the hospital for a follow-up examination, undergo a gynecological check-up, and have your vaginal discharge tested to confirm the diagnosis and receive additional treatment. If you have no history of sexual activity, local vaginal medication is not suitable for you. Pay attention to health knowledge, maintain a proper diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Wishing you good health!
