Itchy external genitalia for 15 days, how to handle

Patient's question:

Vaginal itching for 15 days now. I used vaginal effervescent tablets and felt a bit painful and itchy afterward. After using them, it took a long time for the itching to subside, but on the third day, there was a slight itch again. What's going on? Is it effective or just an adverse reaction to the medication?

Doctor's answer:

According to the above description, using any medication requires a process, and it cannot be a complete cure immediately. It is recommended to focus on medication, complete a course of treatment, pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and avoid sexual activity during the treatment period. Do not eat spicy or cold foods. Patients facing external genital itching should actively undergo thorough examinations and treatment, without avoiding medical visits. If the external genital itching does not improve after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to change the treatment plan promptly.
