Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling constant itching and unbearable pain in my external genital area. I want to ask what's going on with me? Doctor, could I have accidentally contracted a sexually transmitted disease? How should I properly address the issue of itching and pain in my external genital area?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if there is a recurrence of localized itching in the external genitalia, it is still primarily considered to be caused by the discharge of vaginal secretions affecting the local area of the external genitalia. Therefore, it is recommended to promptly seek medical attention for a thorough examination. After conducting a detailed examination of the vaginal secretions, the specific type of infection can be identified, and the possibility of transmission due to sexually transmitted diseases can be ruled out. If this is ruled out, treating the vaginal inflammation thoroughly can effectively alleviate the symptoms of itching.
