Patient's question:
Before, I had severe itching in my external genital area, and my discharge was milky white. After drying on my underwear, it turned into a powdery substance. I used Jieryin wash, but it didn't work. Later, I took daily baths and applied clotrimazole cream afterward, which stopped the itching, but my discharge remained the same and didn't improve. I want to ask what could be the cause of the external genital itching?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is likely caused by unclean sexual activity or improper hygiene, leading to infections that result in vaginal itching and abnormal vaginal discharge. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination. Once the specific treatment plan is determined, you can proceed accordingly. If you use medication blindly, bacteria may develop resistance. The condition of vaginal itching is quite serious, so it is advised that patients seek immediate treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. Additionally, pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
