Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of coldness. Could you please tell me what causes itching in the private area and what medication can be used?Doctor's answer:
It is highly likely to be caused by vulvitis. It is recommended that you consider taking anti-inflammatory drugs such as ofloxacin and cefixime. After cleaning the area with potassium permanganate solution, apply erythromycin or Bactroban ointment. Pay attention to hygiene and consider that you may have vaginitis. It is advised to undergo a routine vaginal discharge test to determine the specific type of vaginitis for symptomatic treatment. Keep the external genital area clean and dry. Avoid scratching, hot water washing, and using soap. When infected, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable and loose-fitting. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods.
