What should I do if my menstrual flow is light and itchy below?

Patient's question:

I came on my period today, but it was just a little bit in the morning. It almost stopped in the morning and afternoon, and I also feel that my private area is itchy. Hello doctor, my period stopped after just one morning, and there's still some itching down there. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

It's possible that it's not normal menstruation, it could be irregular vaginal bleeding. In this case, it's necessary to go to the hospital promptly for an ultrasound to determine the bleeding location and infer the cause of the bleeding. If the private area is itchy, it might be due to vaginitis or vulvitis, so it's important to get checked. A routine vaginal discharge test can be used for diagnosis, and treatment should be administered after diagnosis. It's also important to pay attention to the cleanliness of the private area.
