Is the itching of the external genitalia because of dirty underwear?

Patient's question:

Vaginal itching, underwear not exposed to the sun, itchy when it snows, used care products, but itchy in rainy weather, can't stand it!

Doctor's answer:

This could be a mold infection. If the vaginal discharge is like cottage cheese, it is most likely a mold infection. In fact, there are molds in the female vagina, but they don't cause symptoms unless they flare up. When the vaginal resistance increases and the flora is imbalanced, symptoms reappear. The key now is to expose underwear to sunlight. On rainy days, if there is no sunlight, use a hairdryer to dry the underwear before wearing it. Wash the vulva daily and keep it clean, avoiding tight-fitting underwear. In addition to treating vulvar itching, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and speed up recovery.
