Patient's question:
It started two days ago, and my external genital area is itchy (I had sexual intercourse two days before the itching started, and I drank chrysanthemum tea before the itching began). Is there any good treatment plan?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is a symptom that can be caused by various factors. Local causes include specific infections (such as fungal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, diabetes, pubic lice, scabies, and pinworms), chronic vulvar dystrophy, drug allergies or chemical irritation, poor hygiene habits, and skin diseases. It is recommended that you visit a hospital promptly for a thorough examination. After diagnosis, symptomatic treatment should be administered. There are many treatment methods for vaginal itching, but since patients' symptoms vary, the treatment approaches differ accordingly. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing the symptoms.
