Patient's question:
I've been feeling itchy down there for the past couple of days, and I don't know what's going on. I change my underwear and wash my clothes very frequently, and I've even tried some gynecological cleaning liquid, but I only used it for a short time and then stopped. Now, the itching down there has gotten much worse, and I can't scratch it either—basically, it's extremely uncomfortable. What should I do in this situation? Can I still use the gynecological cleaning liquid?Doctor's answer:
Severe itching of the external genitalia may be caused by external genital inflammation or vaginal inflammation. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to check. Before the examination, do not use gynecological cleaning solutions, as they may affect the examination results. They can be used after the examination. It is necessary to check for a gynecological examination and a routine vaginal discharge test to identify the cause before taking medication. It is necessary to follow the doctor's advice for treatment. During the treatment period, avoid sexual activity and pay attention to local hygiene. Severe itching of the external genitalia can cause great harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to dietary issues, with light food as the foundation. It is hoped that patients with external genital itching can receive professional treatment.
