Patient's question:
Often, I experience vulvar itching, which is particularly itchy, especially in the groin area. I often scratch it, and the more I scratch, the itchier it gets, which is very frustrating. Sometimes, when the itching is severe, I apply Compound Dexamethasone Acetate Cream or Compound Camphor Cream, but they only provide temporary relief from swelling and pain. I have also tried using Fuyanjie, but it has had no effect.Medical history and treatment effectiveness: I am unmarried and have given birth to two children via cesarean section. When the itching occurs, I apply Compound Dexamethasone Acetate Cream or Compound Camphor Cream, but they only offer temporary relief. I have also used Fuyanjie, but it has been ineffective.
Treatment options: Should I take medication, apply topical creams, or use a medicated wash? I want to find a way to quickly alleviate this embarrassing discomfort.
Doctor's answer:
Common causes of vulvar itching include pinworms, trichomoniasis, scabies, fungi, and bacteria. It is recommended to have a gynecological examination for a routine vaginal discharge test to identify the cause before treatment. Maintain a light diet, avoid foods high in sugar and spicy, irritating foods, and consider drinking more yogurt. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and avoid wearing pantyhose. Wash used underwear, basins, towels, etc., with boiling water and dry them in the sun. In addition to symptomatic treatment for vulvar itching, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating a light diet and staying active outdoors. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.
