Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been feeling itchy down there for these few days. But since it's a private part, I can't scratch it openly. However, it's really unbearable, so I'd like to ask you about the causes of vaginal itching in women.Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is often caused by inflammation. It is recommended to conduct a routine vaginal discharge test, undergo a gynecological examination, and have an MRI of the uterus for timely symptomatic treatment. The external genitalia can be cleaned with warm water in the morning and evening, or with a decoction of Sophora flavescens, both of which are acceptable. The diet should be light, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Wear loose, breathable cotton underwear and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits.For patients with vaginal itching, while understanding the importance of proper medical treatment, dietary therapy can be used as a complementary treatment. In daily dietary habits, it is necessary to avoid irritating foods.
