Patient's question:
I am three and a half months pregnant and have been experiencing recurrent itching in the external genital area. What should I do? I clean it with clean water every day, and I have also soaked my underwear in boiling water. What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is a symptom that can be caused by various factors. Local causes include specific infections (such as vaginitis, pubic lice, scabies, pinworms), chronic vulvar malnutrition, drug allergies or chemical irritation, poor hygiene habits, and skin diseases. It is recommended that you undergo a thorough examination and follow medical advice for treatment. The harm vaginal itching brings to patients is very significant. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, pay close attention to dietary issues, focusing on a light and balanced diet. It is hoped that patients with vaginal itching can receive professional treatment.
