Patient's question:
Over the past few months, the symptoms of vulvar itching have recurred during my menstrual period. Yesterday during my period, I experienced vulvar itching, and today I have rectal itching. What is going on? Is the rectal itching caused by something else, or is it due to vaginitis? If I go to the hospital, do I need to see both the gynecology department and the colorectal department?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you have external genital itching, it may be considered as vulvovaginitis. You need to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a follow-up examination, have a routine gynecological examination and a secretory test, to confirm the diagnosis and provide symptomatic treatment.Guidance and suggestions: If you have anal itching, it may be due to anal inflammation. You need to go to the colorectal department for a follow-up examination, have an anorectal examination, and then receive anti-inflammatory treatment. Drink more warm water, maintain a light diet, and avoid consuming irritating foods. In addition to symptomatic treatment for external genital itching, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.
