Patient's question:
I am 34 years old and have been married to my husband for seven years. Recently, while using the restroom, I noticed that I have a problem with vulvar itching, which is very itchy and lately, I've even noticed a strange odor! I feel very troubled. Am I suffering from some gynecological disease? I want to know how to treat vulvar itching and sometimes a strange odor.Doctor's answer:
In your case, you have symptoms of vaginitis, such as external genital itching and a bad odor. It could be bacterial or fungal. I recommend you go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test to see which type of infection it is, and then receive targeted treatment. For external genital itching, you can apply Compound Dexamethasone Acetate Cream externally, which is very effective.Make sure to get plenty of rest and boost your immunity. As patients face the discomfort of external genital itching, we should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment and avoid delaying medical visits. If the itching does not improve after treatment, it is important to change the treatment plan in a timely manner.
