What Causes Itchy External Genitalia Outside of Sexual Activity

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Could you please explain why the external genital area is extremely itchy during sexual activity?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, vulvar itching is a typical symptom of candidal vulvovaginitis, but other diseases cannot be ruled out either. Candidal vulvovaginitis is a sexually transmitted disease, primarily spread through sexual activity. Timely and thorough examination and treatment are recommended for this condition.
Your case may be bacterial or candidal vulvovaginitis. You can use the decoction of Sophora flavescens or Melaleuca leucadendron to rinse and treat it, which may be effective. Both Sophora flavescens and Melaleuca leucadendron have anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties, but the latter should not be taken internally.
