Patient's question:
Female, 32 years old. Recently, she has found that her private area is always itchy and feels hot, as if it were on fire. Is this a sign of inflammation? How is the treatment for simple vulvitis better?Doctor's answer:
The cause of the condition: Vaginal discharge irritation: Due to an increase in vaginal discharge or menstrual pad irritation, especially during cervicitis and various vaginitis, the continuous flow of discharge to the external genitalia can cause varying degrees of vulvitis. Other irritant factors: such as ① diabetic urine directly stimulating the skin; ② urinary fistula patients being constantly washed by urine; ③ fecal fistula patients suffering from fecal irritation during nausea, vomiting, and loose stools; ④ intestinal pinworms. Mixed infections: Due to various irritants, mixed infections are often caused, with common pathogens being Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Escherichia coli.
