Patient's question:
I have been suffering from vulvar itching for several years now. It's incredibly itchy. I've tried all kinds of topical and oral medications that I know of, and they started to help, but later the itching returned. Is there any way to alleviate it? What kind of assistance I am looking for: Are there any remedies that can help?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, common diseases in postmenopausal women are primarily caused by a lack of estrogen, leading to reduced local resistance and allowing bacteria to invade and cause inflammation. This manifests as external genital itching or a burning sensation, with severe cases presenting with frequent urination and dysuria. There is an increase in vaginal discharge, which appears pale yellow. In severe cases, there may be bloody purulent leukorrhea accompanied by a foul odor. Further and careful examination should be conducted to rule out the possibility of tumors.
