Patient's question:
After menstruation, the external genitalia itches and aches. After it ends, everything returns to normal. What's going on? Is it contagious? Should I go to the hospital to check?Doctor's answer:
When the itching is mild, patients often feel restless and uneasy, which may interfere with daily life and training. Maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the external genital area at all times. A female care liquid with a pH4 weak acid formula is more suitable for daily intimate care. Avoid scratching. Do not use hot water for washing or soaps. Clothing, especially underwear, should be loose, comfortable, and breathable. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods. For patients with severe external genital itching, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment and do not blindly rely on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition.
