Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is it normal for women in menopause to have a high sex drive?Doctor's answer:
Menopause is a special period, typically occurring between the ages of 40 and 50. During this time, ovarian function gradually declines, and the synthesis of estrogen also decreases. To alleviate menopausal symptoms, it is generally recommended to consume more soy products rich in isoflavones. In severe cases, hormone therapy or traditional Chinese herbal medicine may be used for regulation.It is highly likely that the condition is vulvitis, which is often caused by an infection due to poor hygiene of the external genitalia. Potassium permanganate solution or Fuyanjie can be used for cleaning, and Bacitracin ointment or erythromycin ointment can be applied topically for treatment.
