Patient's question:
Vaginal itching is usually worse at night, and sometimes it gets so bad that she scratches herself raw without even realizing it. During ovulation, the amount of discharge increases, and the itching also intensifies.Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is a common symptom of various types of vaginitis and does not have specific diagnostic value for identifying the causative pathogen. It is essential to conduct a thorough examination of vaginal discharge to determine the specific pathogen. If you have a Mycoplasma genitalium infection, you must be prescribed macrolide antibiotics. Both partners should be treated simultaneously, and sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited during the treatment period. It is crucial to emphasize continuous, uninterrupted medication use, adhering to regular dosages and completing the full course of treatment. Based on your description alone, I cannot determine which specific pathogen is causing your vaginal infection. I recommend retesting your vaginal discharge. In addition to medication for treating vaginitis, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy or irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also choose a professional hospital for diagnosis to achieve optimal treatment outcomes.
