Patient's question:
Doctor, I might be in this situation. My gynecological examination was normal, but I have vulvar itching. At first, it itched at night, and when I took a bath, I wanted to scrub and scratch with hot water. Now it's getting itchier and itchier, and I feel too embarrassed to go to the hospital. Please advise what medicine to use. I will buy it from the pharmacy myself. I am 55 years old and have been menopausal for three years. My winter health check-up results were all normal.Doctor's answer:
Recurring vulvar itching cannot be ruled out as vulvar eczema, fungal vulvitis, or trichomonal vulvitis, and the possibility of leukoplakia of the vulva should also be considered. It is best to re-examine, as different conditions require different medications. The cause needs to be confirmed. If it is vulvar eczema, calamine lotion can be used for washing. If it is vulvitis, prepared Chinese medicine preparation of Sophora flavescens lotion can be used for washing. At the same time, scratching should be prevented, and underwear should be changed frequently. During the treatment of vulvar itching, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and proper diet to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of vulvar itching.
