Patient's question:
The vagina is always itchy and feels damp. I'm quite careful about hygiene down there, but for some reason, there's still a smell. I used to just use {region: plain water} to wash, but now I've switched to potassium permanganate solution, yet it's still itchy. Is vaginal itching a symptom of vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching has reappeared, and in most cases, it is caused by vaginal inflammation. If there is a significant amount of vaginal discharge, it is necessary to have a routine vaginal discharge examination. Treating vaginal itching with vaginal medication is indeed a symptom of vaginal inflammation, which is most often caused by prolonged effects of excessive vaginal discharge. You can use a cleansing solution for sitz baths, conduct a routine vaginal discharge examination to determine the type of vaginal inflammation, and then treat it with vaginal medication.For patients, if the vaginal itching condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered, otherwise it may lead to recurrent vaginal itching. Additionally, patients should pay attention to their diet and psychological care. I hope the answers provided above can help everyone. Thank you.
