Patient's question:
Starting from July this year, my vagina began to itch inexplicably. I visited 3 or 4 hospitals for check-ups, but none could find a cause. The doctors only prescribed medication for me and performed microwave treatment. The effect was only noticeable when I was on medication, but the itching and discomfort returned when I was not. The doctor's final diagnosis was that the prolonged use of medication had caused the issue, advising me to stop medication and use general gynecological liquid for cleaning. However, I still feel uncomfortable, and no other abnormalities were found except for a "positive" result in the dense cell test. I want to know, with my current condition, what treatments I can still accept? Can I have sexual intercourse with my husband? Should I consider getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello! There are many causes of vulvar itching, common ones include fungal vaginitis and trichomoniasis; infection with pubic lice or scabies; nutritional deficiencies and vulvar leukoplakia (external/inner); allergies to medications and chemicals; vulvar dampness and contamination; vulvar eczema, herpes, or genital warts, etc.Before being diagnosed, please do not use medication on your own. It is recommended that you get a routine vaginal discharge test promptly to clarify the condition as soon as possible and then proceed with treatment. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain vulvar cleanliness.
