Patient's question:
Just now I went to the bathroom to urinate. After urinating, I clearly used toilet paper to clean myself, but I feel itchy in my vagina. Hello, could the itching be due to just urinating? I'm itchy and in pain right now. How should I treat vaginal itching?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described, vaginal itching may be a symptom caused by a pathogen infection. Generally, urinary tract infections do not cause vaginal inflammation. Vaginal inflammation may, however, lead to symptoms of urinary tract irritation. If there is an increase in vaginal discharge and an abnormal odor, it is recommended to first go to the gynecology department of a hospital to have the discharge tested for routine examination to confirm the pathogen causing the infection, and then receive targeted medication treatment. For patients, if the vaginal itching condition is severe, it is important to receive timely, targeted treatment and appropriate medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of vaginal itching. Additionally, patients should maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
