Patient's question:
On September 3, 2010, there was itching, pain, and slight redness in the external genital area. There was also a yellow substance in the vagina, and aching pain in the waist. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of vulvar itching, including fungal or trichomoniasis vaginitis, cervicitis, and poor hygiene. If vulvar itching occurs again, it is important to pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the vulvar area. Avoid washing the vulva with soap; try to suppress scratching and rubbing the affected area; avoid spicy foods; and be mindful of preventing depression and tension. Alternatively, you can use Chinese herbal medicine to wash with 15g of snakeroot, 15g of stemona, 15g of white peony bark, 15g of hibiscus bark, and 15g of Sophora flavescens externally, either by washing or soaking, once or twice a day. If the symptoms still cannot be relieved, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to identify the cause of the itching and treat it accordingly. Gynecological diseases are not easily cured. Friends with gynecological diseases should always maintain a positive attitude and face them with a proactive mindset, as this can only boost their confidence in combating these diseases.
