Patient's question:
I have vaginal itching that keeps recurring. This is the third time it's itchy. The first two times, I went to the hospital and took medication, which helped, but then it started again after a while. I'm quite careful with my sexual life, including cleaning my underwear and pants, but I don't know why the itching always comes back after a while. Could it be cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching, traditional antihistamines such as chlorphenamine (Pyrabenzamine), diphenhydramine, hydroxyzine (Atarax), cyproheptadine, etc., all have sedative, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving effects and can be used for the treatment of this condition. When localized pruritus fails to respond to various treatment methods, high-frequency electrotherapy or local liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, transdermal electro-neural stimulation can be adopted, but nuclear isotopes such as 32P, 90Sr, and superficial X-ray irradiation are not suitable for treating pruritus of the vulva. In addition to medication for vaginal itching, patients also need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to obtain good treatment results.
