Patient's question:
I am a 29-year-old woman. The area of the vulva (where hair grows) has been itchy lately. I bathe and change my clothes every day, and I am not sexually active. What could be the cause? Also, what are the small protrusions on the inner wall of the labia minora?Doctor's answer:
Recurring vulvar itching, along with local growths, may be caused by long-term chronic inflammation. It is recommended to clean the vulva with plain water every night, apply symptomatic ointment locally for anti-inflammatory treatment, wear loose and breathable cotton underwear, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Gynecological issues can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care. Eating more fruits and vegetables while avoiding irritating foods can help. It is hoped that patients with gynecological problems can receive professional treatment.
