Patient's question:
In the past one or two months, I've been experiencing constant itching in the external genital area, especially in the morning when I get out of bed. The hair in that area is particularly itchy, to the point where I want to scratch it, but I'm too afraid to do so. So, I specifically used a wash liquid during my evening bath, but the itching started again shortly after. It's so annoying. I'd like to consult about what methods can be used to resolve this issue.Doctor's answer:
Completely eliminate local or systemic factors that cause itching, such as bacterial vaginosis, which can be treated with gel disinfectants. At the same time, oral antihistamines, vitamin B1, vitamin C, sodium thiosulfate, oryzanol, bromides, calcium preparations, and sedative-hypnotics can be used according to the condition, either alone or in combination with antihistamines. Always maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia. Using a female care liquid with a pH 4 weak acid formula, or local cold compresses, can also provide some anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.In addition to timely treatment for vulvar itching, friends with the condition should maintain a positive attitude toward the disease. Only in this way can they reduce their immune system and strengthen their belief in fighting the disease. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, focusing on light foods and avoiding irritating or cold foods, believing that this will surely drive away vulvar itching.
