What should I do if I have itching in the vulvar area?

Patient's question:

Vaginal itching with a bad odor, excessive discharge resembling yogurt or cottage cheese, mild vaginal pain

Doctor's answer:

In your case, there is a possibility of vaginitis. It is recommended that you get an early examination of vaginal secretions and routine leukorrhea tests. This condition is usually caused by bacterial infection. First, it is necessary to identify what type of bacterial infection it is. Once the type of infection is confirmed, symptomatic treatment can be administered.
It is important to maintain good hygiene in the genital area to prevent infection. Pay attention to your diet and nutrition, avoiding extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods. Pruritus of the external genitalia can cause significant harm to patients. Once you notice the symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to dietary issues, focusing on a light diet. We hope that patients with pruritus of the external genitalia can receive professional treatment.
