Patient's question:
My wife has been experiencing vaginal itching recently. Why did she get this condition? Does it have anything to do with me? Or is it due to poor hygiene? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you should first confirm the cause of the itching. If you have vaginitis, use medication that matches the symptoms. If the vulvar itching is caused by external factors: excessive sweat, dampness, or washing can lead to itching; wearing hard-textured underwear or some women being allergic to certain synthetic fabrics in underwear can also cause itching; some soaps used for washing the vulva can cause itching, etc. For such vulvar itching, as long as the cause is carefully identified, a solution can be found. For example, pay attention to hygiene, take a bath (shower) every day, use soft and absorbent cotton underwear, and soaps that purify the vulva are better, such as boracic soap.
