Patient's question:
I am 29 years old this year. Recently, my menstruation has been abnormal for the past three and a half months. Sometimes it comes early, and sometimes it goes late. My external genital area is very itchy, making it hard to sit or stand. Sometimes even during a nap, I feel itchy. When I take a shower, I notice that the white discharge in my underwear looks like paste. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation is likely caused by endocrine dysfunction. Abnormal vaginal discharge may be a symptom of vaginitis. For irregular menstruation, it is necessary to persist in taking medication for a period of time to regulate the menstrual cycle, such as short-acting contraceptives or traditional Chinese medicine. For vaginitis, it is recommended to use gynecological cleansing solutions to wash the external genitalia and the vagina. It is best to use medications in combination for treatment. Pruritus of the external genitalia greatly interferes with patients' lives. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to self-care, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition. It is hoped that patients with pruritus of the external genitalia can receive professional treatment.
