Patient's question:
These days, I keep experiencing recurrent external genital itching when I get off work. It makes me feel very embarrassed and I always have the urge to scratch. It has been like this for two or three days. I originally wanted to go to the hospital to check it, but feeling too embarrassed, I didn’t go. Now I’m very worried about this matter. What could be the cause of the external genital itching?Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be vaginitis caused by a vaginal infection, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up to determine the underlying cause. It is also important to pay more attention to personal hygiene in the private area. The skin in the external genital area may be exposed to menstrual blood, vaginal discharge, urine, feces, and sweat, leading to chronic inflammation and ultimately causing vulvar itching. Vulvar itching is a condition that is difficult to recover from. Friends suffering from this condition should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in fighting vulvar itching and believe that recovery is definitely possible.
