Patient's question:
Since last year, when I visited a classmate's house and didn't bring my underwear, I borrowed hers to wear. A few days after coming home, I experienced severe itching in my vagina and vulva, along with abnormal and excessive discharge, and a very strong odor. It was truly unbearable to sit or stand. When I went to the hospital for medication, the treatment wasn't very effective.Doctor's answer:
General treatment pays attention to menstrual hygiene, always keeping the external genital area clean and dry, and avoiding scratching. Do not use hot water for washing or soaps. Clothing, especially underwear, should be loose and breathable. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods.Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that damp-heat accumulation and yin deficiency with blood dryness are the main causes of female external genital itching. From the perspective of holistic treatment, the onset of external genital itching is closely related to the internal organs such as the liver, spleen, and kidneys, and is also connected to the Ren and Du meridians.
