Patient's question:
I am 21 years old and have almost no sexual activity. Since May, I have been experiencing itching in the external genital area, which has become particularly severe recently. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the colposcopy results indicated cervical erosion with normal secretions. The doctor prescribed medication to treat trichomoniasis and candidiasis. However, after using the medication for a week, there has been no improvement. Even daily use of Jie Er Yin has been ineffective. The itching is so intense that it is almost unbearable, making it difficult for me to engage in normal training and get deep sleep.What assistance I am seeking: Request for medical advice.
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have had vulvar itching for over a year. You have tried gentler methods, including using antitrichomonal and antifungal medications, as well as Jie Er Yin, but without success.1. Re-examine vaginal discharge routine tests.
2. Maintain hygiene at all times, but avoid over-washing the vulva, vagina, etc., as this can destroy the natural environment of the vagina, leading to the spread of infections and clinical symptoms.
3. Boil 50g of Sophora flavescens and 30g of Cnidium monnieri with 1L of water, then transfer it to a clean container for sitz baths.
