Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for six and a half months. A few days ago, I used a sanitary pad, and at night, I had itching and redness outside my vagina. Besides the white discharge, what should I do these past two days?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is a symptom that can be caused by various factors. Local causes include specific infections (such as vaginitis, pubic lice, scabies, pinworms), chronic vulvar dystrophy, drug allergies or chemical irritation, poor hygiene habits, and skin diseases. It is recommended that you undergo a thorough examination and follow medical advice for treatment. Patients with vaginal itching can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, also use home remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. Proper dietary habits should be maintained in daily meals to avoid irritating foods.
