Patient's question:
I feel itchy down there. I feel like it's also dirty inside. So I want to wash my external genitalia. Then I thought of using a wash to clean it. I want to know, can I use a wash for itchy external genitalia?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching may be related to infectious vaginitis. If the cleanliness is not sufficient, wearing synthetic clothing that causes irritation can also lead to recurring vaginal itching symptoms. You can use a liquid to wipe the affected area or suggest using a mild saltwater solution for cleaning. If the itching does not improve after cleaning, it is necessary to visit a gynecological department for a check-up before using medication. During treatment, it is strictly prohibited to have sexual intercourse.In addition, during the treatment for vaginal itching, besides medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of vaginal itching.
