Patient's question:
A Caesarean section child has been 40 days old. The external genitalia itched a few times, now it hurts very much. The vagina is not itchy, but it hurts, is it because it was scratched? What is going on? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of the condition, it is considered that you may have vulvitis or vaginitis. The common characteristics of vulvitis and vaginitis are increased vaginal discharge and external genital itching. However, due to different pathogens, the characteristics, nature, and severity of itching of the discharge may vary. It is recommended that you undergo a gynecological examination during your postpartum check-up at 42 days to identify the cause. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, topical medications can be used. Additionally, during the treatment of a cesarean section, in addition to symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of the cesarean section.
