Recurring external genital itching - what medication to use

Patient's question:

The itching symptoms fluctuate in severity, coming and going. When the itching is severe, it makes it difficult to sit or lie down, and disrupts sleep and appetite. It is also accompanied by a burning sensation in the vagina, which is particularly noticeable during urination. Recently, there has been a recurrence of frequent urination, painful urination, and pain during intercourse?

Doctor's answer:

Comprehensive Prevention Recommendations:
For candidiasis and persistent vulvar itching, avoid spicy and greasy foods to prevent internal heat and toxicity accumulation, which may worsen itching symptoms. Avoid sweet foods as well, since excessive sweet and rich foods can lead to continuous increases in glycogen in vaginal epithelial cells, raising acidity and promoting fungal growth, thereby increasing the risk of candidiasis. Consume more foods rich in Vitamin B, such as yogurt and fresh vegetables and fruits, to boost immunity.
