Patient's question:
Lately, I've been experiencing vaginal itching during naps at night, but it feels a bit better after wiping with paper. What could be causing this? Also, my menstrual cycle has been irregular; I only get my period every two or three months, and it's very light.Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is a symptom to consider vaginal inflammation, irregular menstruation, and frequent cycles of two to three months with very low volume.Recommendation: It is best to visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination to check the development of the uterine appendages, have blood tests to measure hormone levels, and identify the cause of low and irregular menstrual flow. Additionally, a routine vaginal discharge test should be conducted to confirm the type of vaginal infection, followed by targeted treatment.
