Patient's question:
For the past week or so, I've been feeling itchy externally. Sometimes I can't help but scratch it. The past two days, I've been using ABC liquid to wash the area. I took a few photos of my private parts with a camera and noticed some white patches around the vaginal opening that are similar to discharge but not exactly discharge. They are attached to the surface, feel soft, and cause no discomfort. Recently, I've noticed that the white patches have expanded in size. I haven't had any sexual activity, and my last menstrual period was about ten days ago. I'm wondering what this could be a symptom of. I'm feeling a bit upset now.Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, it is recommended to have your vaginal discharge tested at the hospital to check for inflammation. Always maintain external genital hygiene, pay attention to personal hygiene, and wash underwear and socks separately. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Wishing you good health! For patients, if the condition of vulvar itching is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of vulvar itching. Additionally, patients should pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
