Patient's question:
Itching of the outer skin of the private area. My period came on April 4th of this month, but since it's not very regular, I started using sanitary pads about a week before the expected date. During this time, I experienced itching of the outer skin of the private area. My period lasted for a week, and since then, the itching has persisted until now. Occasionally, after washing with hot water, I feel some relief, but discomfort returns after urination and defecation during the day. This cycle has continued on and off until now. In the past, I've had similar itching, but it would resolve on its own within two or three days, so I didn't pay much attention.Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this situation, it is important to pay attention to hygiene; it is recommended to use potassium permanganate solution or Wufanjie for external washing and get adequate rest. Drink more water and avoid spicy and cold foods. For patients with vaginitis, while taking medication for symptomatic relief, herbal remedies can be used as supplementary treatment in daily life. Appropriate dietary habits should be maintained in daily meals to avoid irritating foods. During the treatment period, it is also necessary to rest in bed. Avoid strenuous exercise, maintain a calm mood, and do not experience excessive stress.
