Patient's question:
I always have itching in the external genital area, abnormal vaginal discharge with a bad odor. The vagina is always swollen and red, and I have a burning sensation when urinating. My friends all say I have a gynecological disease. I want to ask where I can get treatment for the itching in the external genital area. I have taken many anti-inflammatory medications and used many topical laundry detergents, but it is still very itchy.Doctor's answer:
Go to a formal hospital's gynecology department for a thorough examination of the disease. Vulvar itching is likely caused by a disease related to vulvovaginitis. Pay attention to the examination and laboratory tests of vaginal discharge to confirm what pathogen is transmitted. Additionally, it is also necessary to check a urinalysis, and if possible, culture it to see what bacteria is causing it. Based on this, decide on the sensitive medication for treatment. Vulvar itching patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life while understanding symptomatic treatment. During daily dietary habits, it is crucial to avoid being overly hungry or overly full, and never overeat.
