Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent itching in my external genital area recently. Sometimes it's so itchy that I can't sit or stand still, and I feel like I can't help but scratch it hard with my hands. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor recommended using Jie Er Yin to clean my external genital area every day. However, after washing, the itching still persists, and the symptoms haven't improved at all. I am still very itchy.What kind of help do I need: What is effective for washing away external genital itching?
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, this generally falls under the category of a condition caused by Candida infection. Rinsing with baking soda is beneficial for recovery.Suggestions: At the same time, pay attention to drinking more water, maintaining local hygiene, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Undergarments should be loose, breathable, and frequently washed. Wait for a period of observation. During the menstrual period, if cleanliness is not paid attention to and the external genitalia are not cleaned frequently, menstrual blood or vaginal secretions may accumulate for a long time in the external genitalia. Or, if synthetic underwear is worn daily, the external genitalia are often in a humid and hot environment, which commonly causes itching. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital gynecology department for pathological examination of vaginal or cervical secretions to clarify the diagnosis and then provide symptomatic treatment.
