Patient's question:
I am seventeen years old this year. I don't know when it started, but I often feel a persistent itch in my lower abdomen. Sometimes, even when I take a nap in the afternoon, I unconsciously scratch it with my hand. In the morning, when I attend tutoring sessions, the itching is unbearable, but I don't know what to do about it. I want to know what causes the itching in the vagina?Doctor's answer:
It should be a bacterial infection. Wash your hands frequently, and use soap to clean the genital area at night. After cleaning is smoothly completed, get your hands a bit wet, apply soap to your hands, and then evenly spread it on the genital area. The irritation of soap to the genital area is much less than potassium permanganate, and it has the effects of killing bacteria, reducing inflammation, swelling, and pain. Seek medical attention at a gynecology or traditional Chinese medicine clinic, otherwise the condition may worsen. The condition of vaginal itching is very serious, and it is recommended that patients seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to personal care and maintain a proper diet to avoid worsening the condition.
