Patient's question:
I usually pay close attention to personal hygiene, but recently, due to some things happening at home, I've been quite tired at night, so for several days, I've just taken naps. The day before yesterday, I suddenly felt intense itching in my external genital area. I used a cleaning wipe to clean it, and it's been three days now, with the same issue every day. It's extremely painful. What are the causes and treatments for vulvar itching?Doctor's answer:
There are several reasons, including vaginal inflammation, vulvar dystrophy, vulvar eczema, and skin diseases in the vulvar area. During this period, you can follow your doctor's advice to use antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving topical solutions for local treatment. You can first visit the dermatology department for a follow-up to identify the specific cause and provide targeted treatment. It is important to maintain local cleanliness and dryness, wear breathable underwear, and avoid scratching and friction to prevent further irritation. In addition to promptly treating vulvar itching, friends with the condition should maintain a positive attitude and face the disease head-on. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, it is essential to pay attention to dietary care and maintain a balanced diet to ensure proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. It is believed that this will help drive away vulvar itching.
