Patient's question:
Hello, I've been experiencing some itching around my vaginal opening these past few days. A few days ago, I had some mild itching on my external genitalia, but the symptoms were very light. Starting from yesterday and today, I've noticed the vaginal itching has worsened. Could you please tell me what the most common causes might be?First follow-up question: Hello, when I touch it with my hand, I feel like there are some small bumps forming on the lower part of my left labia minora.
Second follow-up question: I'd like to know what these small bumps could be.
Doctor's answer:
During sexual activity, secretions from the sexual organs (such as leukorrhea, semen, menstrual blood, smegma, etc.) adhere to the external genital area, dry, and then attach to the skin and mucous membranes, causing irritation, itching, and discomfort.
