What is the reason for recent external genital itching?

Patient's question:

What are the reasons for recent vulvar itching, and how is the best treatment? I had a relatively comprehensive gynecological examination about half a year ago, and the results showed nothing was wrong, so I don't want to undergo a detailed examination again, can I? Would it be okay to use many anti-inflammatory drugs or vaginal medications directly?

Doctor's answer:

There are many reasons that may cause local itching of the vulva, but the most common situation is still considered to be the long-term effects of local inflammation in the vagina. Therefore, it is still necessary to actively seek medical attention for a thorough examination to clarify the specific condition of vaginal discharge and the cause of infection in order to provide timely symptomatic treatment. Generally, many local suppositories are used to address the symptoms. Regular follow-up examinations should be conducted. The condition of vulvar itching is quite severe, and it is recommended that patients seek timely symptomatic treatment and follow the doctor's advice accordingly. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition. The above answer is hoped to help you, thank you.
