Patient's question:
The itching was only in the pubic hair area last week, but it gradually moved backward. It went to the labia and a little inside the labia. Today, it feels even deeper inside. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is a symptom that can be caused by various factors. Local causes include specific infections (such as fungal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, pubic lice, scabies, pinworms), chronic vulvar dystrophy, drug allergies or chemical irritation, poor hygiene habits, and skin diseases. Patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, jaundice, leukemia, vitamin A deficiency, and vitamin B deficiency also frequently experience vaginal itching. In some cases, there are no obvious local or systemic causes, which may be related to psychological or mental factors. It is recommended that you come to the hospital for further examination to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
