Patient's question:
I have recently finished my menstrual period and have been experiencing persistent itching in the external genital area. I don't know why this is happening. Could this lead to infertility?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, diabetes, pubic lice, scabies, pinworms), chronic vulvar dystrophy, drug allergies or chemical irritation, poor hygiene habits, and skin diseases. It is recommended that you visit a hospital promptly for a detailed examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In addition to treating vaginal itching, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
