Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing itching on both sides of the clitoris, with a row of slightly raised, smooth white spots on each side. Touching them causes itching. I've also noticed three small growths on the inner side of the labia majora and am worried I might have genital warts. I'm sexually active.Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is a symptom that can be caused by various factors. Local causes include specific infections such as fungal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, pubic lice, scabies, and pinworm disease. If vaginal itching occurs, it is important to first pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the external genital area. Avoid washing the external genital area with soap. Try to restrain from scratching and rubbing the affected area. Avoid spicy foods and pay attention to avoiding depression and tension. If the symptoms do not improve, seek medical attention to identify the cause of the itching and treat it accordingly.
