Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been feeling itchy in my private area for the past couple of days, and I can't help but scratch it. But I can't keep doing this. It's really painful, and I want to buy some medicine. Can external itching be treated with ointment?Doctor's answer:
The itching of the external genitalia is likely caused by a fungal infection, so avoid spicy foods and try to have a routine vaginal discharge examination before considering treatment. The treatment for vaginitis still requires time, but temporarily, some ointments can be applied externally to reduce swelling and relieve pain. However, thorough examination should be conducted before medication, as otherwise, it may affect the normal examination results. Do not feel stressed and pay attention to your appetite.In addition, during the treatment for external genital itching, besides medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of the condition.
