Patient's question:
Medical Description: Itching started on the second day after the procedure, except for the labia majora. It itches both day and night. History of Treatment and Effect: I used Jie'er Yin, which seemed to help for about one or two days, but then it started again. It's getting itchier and itchier now. Help Needed: Should I go to the hospital? It's very uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
If you experience vulvar itching after an abortion procedure, it is essential to go to a formal hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test to determine if you have a vaginal infection. Vaginal infections are often caused by Candida albicans.Treatment: Wash the vulva or soak in a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution. Apply a 2% gentian violet solution locally. Nystatin is highly effective.
Usage: Insert 100,000 U vaginal suppositories twice daily (morning and evening) into the deep vagina for 5 days. Wash the vulva and apply nystatin ointment locally.
