How are medications used to treat female external genital itching?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I'm troubled. I don't know what's going on. I also take good care of the cleanliness of the external vaginal area, but something went wrong. There's always a sensation of itching, and it's been like this for several days. I'd like to know how doctors prescribe medication for female external vaginal itching?

Doctor's answer:

If women pay special attention to hygiene during daily life and frequently clean the vagina, it can easily lead to vaginal flora imbalance, damaging the immune system of the external genitalia, thereby causing vaginal infections, leading to symptoms such as external genital itching and abnormal vaginal discharge. If there are no obvious discomfort symptoms, cleaning the external genitalia 1-2 times a week is sufficient. However, it is important to change underwear frequently and choose breathable cotton underwear. External genital itching can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care. Eating more vegetables and fruits while avoiding irritating foods is recommended. It is hoped that patients with external genital itching can receive professional treatment.
