Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How should I deal with vaginal dryness during menopause?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to relax and engage in more foreplay before sexual activity. Avoid using irritating cleansers to wash the external genitalia or vagina regularly; daily showering or rinsing with clean water is sufficient. If necessary, use vaginal lubricant.Your condition may be related to the "Shang Zhao Zheng" (menopausal emotional disturbance) syndrome. This condition is often linked to the patient's constitutional factors. "Shang Zhao" refers to insufficient yin in the viscera. When essence and blood are deficient, the five viscera lack nourishment, leading to internal agitation of the five emotional fires, which then disturb the heart's spirit, causing "Shang Zhao."
A modified version of "Gan Mai Da Zao Tang" (Sugarcane, Wheat, and Jujube Decoction) can be used for treatment, which may be effective.
