Patient's question:
The symptoms appeared five days ago. The day before, there was some itching, but I didn't pay much attention. After we finished sleeping in the same bed, I noticed the vulva itching and swelling, and there was a lot of white discharge like cottage cheese. I used Jie'eryin liquid to wash it and took anti-cervicitis tablets and Roxithromycin tablets for two days. The white discharge improved a lot, but the vulva itching and swelling didn't go down much. What should I do?Previous treatment and effectiveness: The white discharge returned to normal, but there was still vulvar itching.
Desired help: How can I make the vulvar itching and redness go away on my own?
Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be caused by vaginitis, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a routine examination of vaginal discharge to determine the nature of the inflammation. After identifying the type of inflammation, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, use vulva wash, and change underwear frequently. During menstruation, change sanitary pads and liners promptly. Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment to prevent cross-infection. For patients with severe vulvar itching, it is advised to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition.
