What causes external vaginal itching?

Patient's question:

It's just that after this menstrual period, I don't know how it happened, there's some itching in the outer vagina, what's going on?

Doctor's answer:

Is this phenomenon after menstruation due to improper use of sanitary pads, or could it be an allergy caused by sanitary pads? It is recommended to first rinse with clean water, change underwear frequently, and then wait and see. If the leukorrhea is abnormal, seek medical attention at the gynecology department for follow-up treatment. Vaginal itching is a serious condition, and patients should seek immediate medical treatment while paying attention to dietary issues. Avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
