Patient's question:
Vaginal itching and pain extending to the area near the anus are more severe at night and milder during the day. Sometimes there is a slight discharge. Symptoms started the day after the last sexual activity, with no redness or swelling and no changes in appearance. Using a feminine wash did not show significant improvement. I am seeking expert advice for a simpler treatment method without needing to go to the hospital. What medication would be most effective?Doctor's answer:
Understood the symptoms. Generally, the symptoms are considered to be caused by local skin bacterial infection, requiring timely care combined with medication for treatment. It is recommended to rinse the affected skin with physiological saline and apply ointment to relieve discomfort caused by skin bacterial infection. During the treatment period, avoid spicy, acidic, and cold foods, and prevent staying up late or overexerting oneself. Further observation is necessary. For patients, if the condition of vulvar itching is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of vulvar itching. In addition, patients should maintain a proper diet and stay in a good mood. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can help everyone. Thank you.
