Patient's question:
Recently, I have been experiencing yellow discharge and severe itching in the external genital area, especially at night, and I can't stop scratching. What could be the reason for this? In July, I had an examination and was found to have inflammation and mild erosion, which improved after taking medication. However, it has recurred after sexual activity... Ah, it's really a headache.Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is a symptom that can be caused by various factors. Local causes include specific infections (such as fungal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, pubic lice, scabies, pinworms), chronic vulvar dystrophy, drug allergies or chemical irritation, poor hygiene habits, and skin diseases. Patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, jaundice, leukemia, vitamin A deficiency, and vitamin B deficiency also frequently experience vaginal itching. In some cases, there are no obvious local or systemic causes, which may be related to psychological or mental factors. Individuals with this condition should identify the underlying cause and treat accordingly.
