Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, my boyfriend and I used a condom. The next day, I started itching. I didn't scratch, but the itching was still unbearable. I only had a thorough check-up at the hospital in August last year, so I don't like going to the hospital often. What should I do about the persistent itching of the external genital area?Doctor's answer:
It is not possible to rule out the possibility of a condom allergy. In addition to local hygiene, topical application of PP powder for sitz baths and external use of Fuzheng can be applied, while oral antihistamines and anti-infection medications can also be taken. It is absolutely strictly forbidden to engage in unclean sexual intercourse, excessive sexual activity, and other unhealthy sexual behaviors. When necessary, clinical diagnosis should be combined for further careful examination, laboratory tests should be conducted to confirm the diagnosis and address the specific situation. Comprehensive evaluation measures can be adopted for treatment, which can restore health.In addition, during the treatment of vulvar itching, in addition to symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and a proper diet to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of vulvar itching.
