Can external itching be treated with medication?

Patient's question:

I have given birth before, and recently I have been experiencing vulvar itching and excessive white discharge, which is white in color. It has been almost a month now. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

From what you've described, there is a possibility of a reproductive tract infection. There are multiple reasons for the transmission, so it's necessary to identify the cause and provide targeted treatment. It's best not to self-treat. It is recommended to maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia, which can be done through cleaning. At the same time, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis. During this period, avoid sexual intercourse. For patients with severe external genital itching, it is advised to seek medical attention immediately. Follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment and avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only.
