Patient's question:
When menstruation comes, on the third day, I feel itchy in the external genital area, I dare not scratch it hard with my hands, but the situation is getting worse, with both pain and itching. I can't even sleep well during my nap at night. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It is likely that sanitary pads are the cause. You must switch to a new brand of sanitary pads. You can change them after washing the external genital area. Use Jie Er Yin to wash, only clean the external genital area, and do not perform vaginal washing. For patients with severe external genital itching, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately. Follow the doctor's advice for immediate treatment. Do not blindly trust advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition.
