Patient's question:
Because of vulvar itching, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. They said it was cervical erosion degree 2, pelvic effusion 2.51.5, ureaplasma urealyticum culture positive, and mycoplasma hominis negative. There were many polyp-like growths at the vaginal opening, and the doctor said it might be caused by secretions?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can cause vulvar itching, such as vulvar special infections, vulvar malnutrition, or chemical irritation, all of which can lead to symptoms of vulvar itching. After suffering from vulvar pruritus, attention should be paid to: always keeping the vulva clean and dry, and changing underwear and pants frequently. Underwear should be loose and preferably made of soft cotton. Warm water should be used to wash the vulva, and soaps should be avoided. When itchy, scratching or hot water washing should not be done. When no infectious symptoms reappear, potassium permanganate should not be used for washing. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods. Pay attention to hygiene, and avoid using public bathtubs and toilets to prevent unclean sexual contact.
