Patient's question:
Starting from October 2nd, I've been experiencing vulvar itching, with symptoms becoming more pronounced around 5:00 PM every day. How can you treat it for quick relief? I've been using a steam bath with white vinegar and hot water to alleviate the symptoms, but I'm wondering how to effectively cure it.Doctor's answer:
There are many different types of conditions that can cause vulvar itching, such as local eczema, pubic lice, and fungal infections, as well as trichomoniasis, among others. It is recommended that you first undergo a thorough examination to identify the underlying cause before starting specific treatment. Early detection and treatment of the disease are important to prevent re-infection. After identifying the cause, it is best for both partners to undergo joint examination and treatment.When patients face vulvar itching, we should actively implement examination and treatment, without avoiding medical consultation.
