Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, I want to ask you a question. Recently, I have noticed itching and pain in my external genitalia, and I don't know what is going on. This is the first time this has happened, and I am very worried. So, I would like to trouble you to ask the doctor, what should I do about the itching and pain in my external genitalia?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your question. Itching and pain in the external genitalia may be due to vaginal inflammation. The inflammatory secretions stimulate the skin and mucous membranes of the external genitalia, causing changes. Therefore, in this case, it is necessary to perform a careful examination of the vaginal discharge to confirm the type of vaginal inflammation before deciding on the relevant medication for vaginal application. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and the treatment duration should be more than one week. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia and avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods.
