Patient's question:
At first, the vaginal opening itched, and later I felt a bit itchy inside the vagina as well. It was a fungal vaginal infection. I used Aoxi Shuan for five days, and the itching inside the vagina stopped, but the vaginal opening still itches the same as before, with no relief. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
It may be a symptom of candidal vulvovaginitis, which is a common type of vaginitis often caused by Candida albicans. You can use Daktarin suppositories, inserting one into the vagina every night for a 7-day course. When the external genital area is itchy, avoid washing with hot water to prevent skin and mucosal damage, which could lead to secondary infections. Change underwear frequently, avoid tight pants, and maintain ventilation and dryness. Wash underwear, towels, and footbaths with boiling water after use. If it recurs frequently and does not improve with treatment, you should check for diabetes, and it is recommended that both partners be treated. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
