Vaginal itching, really want to scratch, it always itches badly when it's close to the period. What should I do, take medicine?Doctor's answer:
This condition is primarily caused by fungal infections and requires you to visit a hospital for a thorough examination. If it is contagious, potassium permanganate solution can be used for sitz baths, but local scrubbing should be avoided. Clothing, especially underwear, should be loose and breathable. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods. For patients with vulvar itching, in addition to symptomatic treatment, dietary therapy can be used as a supplementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid extreme hunger or fullness in daily diet and never overeat or binge drink.
