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 cold drafts. How can I treat vaginal itching?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you should first confirm the cause of the itching. If you have vaginitis, use medication that is appropriate for your condition. If the itching is caused by external factors, such as excessive sweat, dampness, or washing, it can lead to itching. Wearing hard-textured underwear or being allergic to certain synthetic fabrics in underwear can also cause itching. Many soaps used for washing the external genital area can also cause itching.For such external genital itching, as long as the cause is carefully identified, a solution can be found. For example, pay attention to hygiene, take a daily bath (shower), and use soft, absorbent cotton underwear. Use a mild soap to cleanse the external genital area, such as an alkaline soap with baking soda.
There are many treatments for vaginal itching, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the diagnostic methods used will also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to seek a diagnosis as soon as possible so that they can receive appropriate treatment.
