Patient's question:
I initially experienced itching in the external genital area, and the doctor diagnosed me with vulvitis and prescribed medication (Fuluxing and Povidone-Iodine). After using them at home, there was no improvement, so I went back to the doctor again. At that time, my vaginal discharge had increased and turned yellowish-green. The doctor prescribed a 7-day medication, which included Kusenqin and Kuyangshu Wash. Besides the oral medication, I used it for one day, and it seemed like my vagina returned to normal without itching. However, every time I used Kusenqin, it caused both pain and itching. On the fourth day, I stopped using it. I continued taking the other medications on schedule. But last night, which was the ninth night, the itching returned again. I’m almost losing my mind. What’s going on and what should I do? Currently, I’m only scratching and applying Fuluxing.What kind of assistance would you like:

Doctor's answer:
There is a bacterial infection that has led to vaginitis, causing symptoms such as excessive discharge and itching. Your condition is considered to be incomplete self-healing, which is why the itching has reappeared. You can treat it through oral and topical methods for better results. You can take Fuyankang capsules in addition to taking Azithromycin for anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, you can use Baofukang suppositories and rinse the vaginal area with a feminine wash. Also, avoid spicy foods that cause stomach upset.
