Why does the vulva itch?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of coldness. Could you please tell me what symptoms are associated with vulvar itching accompanied by cottage cheese-like discharge?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, currently there is external genital itching and a cottage cheese-like discharge, which are typical symptoms of vaginitis. It is preliminarily considered to be fungal vaginitis.
Guidance and suggestions: It is recommended that the patient visit a regular hospital gynecology department for a follow-up examination, have a routine vaginal discharge test, and follow the doctor's advice for vaginal medication after diagnosis. Generally, a 7-day course of treatment is standard, and adhering to 3 courses can lead to complete recovery. There is no need to worry, as this is a common gynecological condition.
Wash the external genital area with warm water daily and wear pure cotton underwear. The underwear must be hand-washed and exposed to sunlight.
In addition, during the treatment for external genital itching, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of the external genital itching.
