Patient's question:
My best friend has been saying recently that she has vulvar itching, often unable to sleep because of the itching, and also has lower abdominal pain. After her menstrual period, there is a lot of white discharge. She doesn't know if it's some kind of illness and wants to consult a doctor. What should she do about the vulvar itching and lower abdominal pain? What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Itching in the external genital area, pain in the lower abdomen, may be a result of irritation and itching caused by the transmission of gynecological inflammation. It is necessary to promptly visit a hospital for tests such as cervical mucus secretion and blood tests for a thorough diagnosis. Based on the test results, timely use of anti-inflammatory drugs should be administered for treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene, reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, and it is advisable to change underwear frequently. In fact, having external genital itching is not frightening. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as treatment is administered promptly in the early stages, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovery are very high.
