Patient's question:
The doctor doesn't know the reason why, this time during my menstrual period, the external itching is bothering me. It's never happened before. Moreover, I need to pay close attention to hygiene.Doctor's answer:
Recurring itching near the menstrual period often indicates poor hygiene and the presence of fungal infections. It is recommended to consume light foods in the coming days and avoid excessive stress. Promptly visit a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test. If you are already on medication, it is advisable to expose underwear to sunlight during this period. If symptoms do not stabilize after the menstrual period, vaginal medication can be considered. Pay attention to maintaining dry external genitalia during menstruation. Severe external genital itching requires timely treatment, and it is hoped that patients can follow their doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. Additionally, focus on self-care training and proper diet to avoid worsening the condition. The above suggestions are hoped to help you. Thank you.
