Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: How is sexual intercourse healthy?Duration of the current illness: A week before my period, I had sexual intercourse with a friend, but after my period, the outside of my vagina itches.
Current general condition: I had some menstruation a few days ago, but now it's gone. It's just occasional.
Medical history: None
Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is often caused by trichomoniasis or fungal infections, which stimulate the external genital area with a large amount of abnormal vaginal discharge. Skin allergies or dermatitis in the external genital area can also lead to itching. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital's gynecology department for pathological tests of vaginal or cervical secretions to identify the pathogen and then receive symptomatic treatment. During menstruation, you can use a Sophora flavescens solution to wash the external genital area to maintain cleanliness and prevent infection. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and visit the hospital promptly after menstruation to undergo a check-up and receive appropriate treatment measures.
