Is it okay to use medicated liquid for vaginal itching?

Patient's question:

Hello, I have recently experienced some health issues, so I would like to consult about this disease. Is it okay to use medicated liquid for vaginal itching?

Doctor's answer:

You can try it. Vulvar itching is often caused by excessive abnormal vaginal discharge from trichomoniasis or fungal infections, which irritates the vulva and causes pain. If antiseptic solutions are used to wash the vulva, vagina, or insert certain drugs (such as sulfonamides, furacilin, strongly alkaline soaps, potassium permanganate solutions, etc.) into the vagina, it may cause allergic reactions or recurrent dermatitis in the vulvar skin, leading to vulvar itching. During menstruation, if hygiene is not paid attention to, or if rubber or plastic menstrual pads are used without frequent cleaning of the vulva, it may cause menstrual blood or vaginal secretions to accumulate in the vulva for a long time.
