Patient's question:
Is the itching inside, outside, and above the female vagina vaginitis? Besides the inner side of the labia majora near the clitoris, what other conditions could cause these symptoms?Doctor's answer:
The external female genitalia and the vagina exhibit significant itching, which suggests the possibility of vulvitis or vaginitis. This is primarily caused by neglecting personal hygiene of the lower body. Based on different microbial compositions, it can be classified as bacterial, fungal, or trichomoniasis.In the presence of these symptoms, the first step is to improve personal hygiene of the lower body. Next, it is recommended to visit a hospital for routine vaginal discharge tests, ultrasound, and colposcopy to assess the severity of the inflammation. Subsequently, treatments such as vulvar cleansing, topical medication, and oral antibiotics can be administered to resolve the issue.
For severe cases of vaginitis, it is advised to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's recommendations for early treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition.
