Postpartum external genital itching, what's the reason?

Patient's question:

About 50 days postpartum, I have been experiencing itching in the external genital area. A few days ago, when I had sex with my husband, he also noticed some issues with his reproductive organs. Currently, I have a significant amount of leukorrhea, and over the past two days, it has been a bit like blood, but the color is very dark and leans towards black, and the amount is not very much. I'm not sure if it's menstruation. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, it could be trichomoniasis. Therefore, it may be transmitted to your husband. Recommendation: You can follow up with the gynecology department for a cervical mucus test. Then, based on the results, symptomatic treatment can be administered, which is usually effective. As for the broken skin, you can undergo a thorough gynecological examination. The itching of the vulva can be very harmful to patients. Once you notice your symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues, focusing on light and nutritious foods. We hope that patients with vulvar itching can receive professional treatment.
