Patient's question:
Hello, I haven't been feeling well recently. I'd like to consult about this disease. How should I deal with vulvar itching and pain?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is a symptom that can be caused by various factors. Local causes include specific infections (such as fungal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, pubic lice, scabies, pinworms), chronic vulvar dystrophy, drug allergies or chemical irritation, poor hygiene habits, and skin diseases. Patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, jaundice, leukemia, vitamin A deficiency, and vitamin B deficiency also frequently experience vaginal itching.Sometimes, vaginal itching cannot be attributed to a clear local or systemic cause, and no visible changes are observed in the vaginal area. This may be due to extreme mental stress, excessive fatigue, or conditioned reflexes resulting from psychological trauma. It is recommended to seek medical attention for a thorough examination to determine the specific diagnosis. Vaginal itching is a condition that is not easily fully cured.
