Patient's question:
For women, vulvar itching may be a common or uncommon occurrence. Essentially, everyone has experienced this situation and gone through it. Most people usually just wash it themselves, while some buy medicine at the hospital. The rest simply use warm water to wash. If it itches, it's likely due to being unclean. I'd like to ask how it should actually be treated.Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is a common gynecological disease in women. It is mostly caused by fungal and trichomoniasis infections. It is best to go to a regular large hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test and then receive symptomatic treatment. If it is a fungal infection, also known as Candida albicans infection, it is recommended to use some warm liquid to clean the external genitalia and use Daktarin suppositories or clotrimazole. If it is a trichomoniasis infection, metronidazole tablets can be used. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided to prevent cross-infection. It is best for both partners to be treated together. Eat more foods that boost immunity and avoid the indiscriminate use of antibiotics to prevent worsening the itching.
