Patient's question:
I have had vaginal itching for over a year. I went to the hospital and the test results showed bacterial vaginosis. I took medication and it got better, but after stopping the medication for a few days, it still itches.Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be caused by vaginitis, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test to identify the nature of the inflammation. After that, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, use vulva wash, and change underwear frequently. During menstruation, change sanitary pads and liners promptly. Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment to prevent cross-infection. For patients with severe vaginal itching, it is advised to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition.
