Doctor's answer:
??????Hello: Abnormal leukorrhea, external genital itching may be caused by inflammation or infection. You can come to the hospital for a gynecological internal examination to identify the cause and follow medical advice for treatment. Change the vaginal pH: The optimal pH value for Candida growth is 5.5. Therefore, using alkaline solutions to rinse the external genitalia and vagina can alter the vaginal pH, inhibiting the growth and reproduction of mold. You can use 2% to 4% baking soda solution to rinse the vagina, once or twice a day, with 2 weeks as one course. After rinsing, dry the external genitalia and keep them dry to inhibit the growth of Candida.
