Patient's question:
Vaginal itching, and with my previous boyfriend it's fine, but with my new boyfriend it's itchy inside, what's going on?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is generally considered a symptom of vulvitis. It does not only occur after sexual activity because there are many types of pathogens that can cause infection, such as fungi, bacteria, and trichomonas. Since the treatment plans for these pathogens are different, it is recommended to first perform a secretion test to confirm the specific pathogen before targeted treatment.Women with vaginal itching can complement their standard medical treatment with dietary therapy in daily life. It is important to avoid extreme hunger or overeating and to never indulge in binge eating during daily meals.
