Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me how to treat vaginal itching and what symptoms it may cause?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this symptom is caused by multiple different factors. It is often due to the excessive abnormal vaginal discharge from trichomoniasis or fungal infections, which irritates the external genital area. If antiseptic solutions are used to wash the external genital area or vagina, or certain medications (such as sulfonamides, furacilin, strongly alkaline soaps, potassium permanganate solutions, etc.) are placed inside the vagina, it may cause allergic reactions or recurrent dermatitis in the external genital area, leading to itching. During menstruation, if hygiene is not properly maintained and the external genital area is not frequently washed, menstrual blood or vaginal secretions may accumulate for a long time in the external genital area. Alternatively, wearing synthetic underwear can keep the external genital area in a consistently moist and warm environment, often causing itching.
