Patient's question:
These days, my external genital area has been experiencing recurrent itching. At first, I thought it was an allergy to the sanitary pads I was using, but even without using anything, the itching still occurs. My genital area has been scratched many times, and I don't know what to do about the itching of the external genital area?Doctor's answer:
If you experience symptoms of vulvar itching, you should definitely avoid scratching the genital area. During this period, it is essential to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the vulva. Do not use any soaps or medications; simply rinse with clean water. There are many different types of inflammation that can cause vulvar itching, such as trichomoniasis, bacterial infections, and vaginitis. These conditions can all lead to vulvar itching. It is recommended that patients visit a hospital for a thorough examination. Since the condition of each patient is different, the treatment methods will also vary. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to seek a prompt diagnosis so that they can receive appropriate treatment.
