Patient's question:
Vaginal itching is very severe, haven't seen a doctor and haven't received good advice. Hello, do you have any good methods? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is often caused by excessive abnormal vaginal discharge resulting from trichomoniasis or fungal infections leading to vaginitis, which irritates the external genitalia and causes pain. If antiseptic solutions are used to wash the external genitalia, vagina, or certain medications are inserted into the vagina (such as sulfonamides, furacilin, strongly alkaline soaps, or potassium permanganate solutions), it may trigger allergic reactions or recurrent dermatitis in the external genital area, leading to itching. During menstruation, if hygiene is not maintained or rubber or plastic menstrual pads are used without frequent cleaning of the external genitalia, menstrual blood or vaginal secretions may accumulate for extended periods. Additionally, wearing synthetic underwear can keep the external genital area in a consistently moist and warm environment, often causing itching. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital gynecology department for a thorough etiological examination of vaginal or cervical secretions.
