Patient's question:
Every day, my private area is very itchy, sometimes with a stinging sensation. I don't know why, but when I use medication, it improves, and when I stop, it comes back. The examination revealed inflammation. Could you please tell me what the initial symptoms of vulvitis are?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis includes non-specific vaginitis, which is often caused by various physical and chemical factors: such as cervical, vaginitis, or cervical cancer leading to excessive vaginal discharge, which irritates the vulva. The treatment of simple vaginitis should first maintain vulvar cleanliness and dryness, avoid scratching the vulva, and do not wear synthetic underwear. At the same time, actively treat diseases that may lead to vaginitis, such as vaginitis, cervical, diabetes, etc. Medication can include soaking in a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution or using traditional Chinese herbal medicines with heat-clearing, detoxifying, insecticidal, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving properties, such as Dendrobium candidum, Sophora flavescens, Phellodendron amurense, and Cnidium monnieri, to decoct and steam wash. After soaking and washing, apply an antibiotic ointment locally.
