Patient's question:
I used to think it was just a simple itching and have bought many medications from the pharmacy, washing twice a day, but it still itched. I paid close attention to hygiene and washed for a period of time, but it didn't go away. So I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said it was vulvitis and prescribed a topical medication called urea ointment. At first, it was effective, but when I stopped applying it, the itching returned, and it only worked for a short time when I reapplied it. It hasn't improved yet.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, pinworms), chronic vulvar dystrophy, drug allergies or chemical irritation, poor hygiene habits, and skin diseases. Patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, jaundice, leukemia, vitamin A deficiency, or vitamin B deficiency may also experience symptoms of vaginal itching. It is important to first confirm the diagnosis before treatment.
