What Causes Itching of the Vulva and Dryness of the Vagina

Patient's question:

At night, there's some itching in the external genital area, and the vagina feels dry. The discharge has become grainy. What could be causing this? What medication should I take?

Doctor's answer:

The situation you described requires local treatment, such as rinsing the vagina with a 0.5%–1% lactic acid or acetic acid solution or a Ph4 weak acid-formulated feminine care liquid once daily. Oral antibiotics and other medications may also be used. Pay attention to local hygiene to prevent cross-infection. The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a routine examination, identify the cause, and then receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
