Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, I always feel itchy outside the vulva, and it often hurts.Doctor's answer:
The treatment methods for vulvitis include the following:1. Antibiotic Treatment: Western medicine antibiotics are often chosen by patients infected with vulvitis. While using antibiotics, women can also opt for topical washes or ointments to complement the treatment, though the chances of cure are relatively low.
2. Medication Treatment: Vulvitis is generally treated with Western medicine combined with topical washes. However, medication may have some side effects.
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Treatment: TCM has its unique advantages with minimal or no side effects. Different therapies are adopted based on individual constitution and causes to regulate and eliminate vulvitis and its root. TCM believes that treating vulvitis should involve promoting blood circulation, clearing heat, removing dampness, killing bacteria, and relieving itching. Huikun Decoction is formulated based on an ancient formula from Bamboo Temple, which can promote tissue repair, accelerate local blood circulation, improve nutrient supply to the vulvar area, and treat vulvitis both at the root and symptoms!
Precautions for Vulvitis:
1. Maintain vulvar cleanliness and dryness, especially during menstruation, pregnancy, and postpartum. Wash the vulva daily and change underwear.
2. Avoid wearing synthetic or tight pants; opt for cotton underwear. When taking local baths, pay attention to the concentration, temperature, and duration of the solution, as well as other precautions.
3. If experiencing vulvar itching, trim nails frequently, wash hands often, and avoid scratching the skin to prevent breakdown and infection, which may lead to secondary bacterial infections.
4. Do not use irritating soaps, medications, or water that is too cold or too hot to clean the vulva.
5. Use antibiotics reasonably to avoid disrupting the vaginal pH balance.
