Patient's question:
Medical Description: Patient: Female. 22 years old. Previously had some itching, but not as severe as now, and there was also a bit of odor. What should be done? Past Treatment and Effectiveness: Took some gynecological medications. Desired Help: What medication should be taken to get better?Doctor's answer:
General Treatment: Women must pay close attention to menstrual hygiene during their period. Keep the external genital area clean and dry, and avoid scratching. Do not use hot water for washing or soaps. In case of infection, potassium permanganate solution can be used for sitz baths, but local scrubbing is strictly prohibited. Clothing, especially underwear, should be loose and breathable. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Wash underwear thoroughly and expose it to sunlight to effectively kill bacteria. Some itching in the lower body may be caused by trichomoniasis, candidiasis, or diabetes. Therefore, identifying the cause is very important. If you feel itching in your external genital area, seek medical treatment promptly to recover more quickly.
