Patient's question:
I've had an abortion for a week, and strangely, my vulva is very itchy. What should I do about vulvar itching after an abortion? How can I handle it?Doctor's answer:
After the flow of people, the external genital itching reappears. First, it is necessary to carefully observe how the skin and mucosa change in appearance, such as redness, swelling, and rashes. If the appearance is normal, it may be related to the decomposition and metabolism of hormones. A sitz bath with a high manganese potassium solution (1:5000) can be used, or the perineal area can be wiped with a Sophora flavescens solution. Between 7 to 10 days after the procedure, an ultrasound should also be performed to check for any residual tissue in the uterine cavity.In addition to treating the external genital itching, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
