Patient's question:
Since last year, when I visited a classmate's house without bringing my underwear and borrowed hers to wear, a few days after coming home, I experienced severe itching in my vagina and vulva, abnormal discharge with a large amount of volume, and a very strong odor. It was truly unbearable to sit or stand. When I went to the hospital for medication, the treatment was not very effective.Doctor's answer:
General treatment pays attention to menstrual hygiene, always maintaining external genital cleanliness and dryness, and avoid 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 blood dryness due to yin deficiency 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 involves the Ren and Du meridians.
