Patient's question:
Medical Description (onset time, main symptoms, changes in symptoms, etc.): Is there any special medicine or home remedy for treating vulvar itching and excessive vaginal discharge? Please provide a detailed answer.Doctor's answer:
The treatment for this condition first involves maintaining cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia. Soaps and other irritants should not be used to clean the external genitalia. Underwear should be made of breathable cotton to avoid worsening the condition. Avoid scratching the affected area with hands or instruments, and refrain from consuming spicy, irritating, or allergenic foods.Sedative and anti-allergic treatment: For individuals with significant mental tension and insomnia, sedative and hypnotic, as well as anti-allergic treatments, can be used.
Local medication: When controlling local itching, topical corticosteroid treatment is recommended. Additionally, topical medications can be used to support the treatment.
Laser therapy: It can destroy a deep and wide 2mm layer of the skin while damaging nerve endings in the dermis, reducing itching symptoms.
Surgical treatment: If drug treatment is ineffective or there is a risk of malignancy, local lesion excision or simple vulvectomy may be performed. Regular follow-up is required after surgery.
