Patient's question:
This year marks the first year of my menstruation. Every time it hurts so much that I feel like I could die. During this period, I don't know why I always feel itchy outside, and I feel too embarrassed to talk about it with my parents. So, I can only endure it. But can someone help me understand this?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify this. If you don't usually experience itching symptoms, but only have them before or after your period, there's no need to worry—it's perfectly normal. This is due to the hormones secreted in your body. I recommend washing your external genital area with warm water every night, and wearing loose cotton underwear afterward. Maintain a healthy diet and avoid spicy or irritating foods.The impact of vulvar itching on patients can be significant. Once you notice the symptoms, it's important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to your diet, focusing on light and nutritious foods. I hope vulvar itching patients can receive professional treatment.
