Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling itchy down there no matter how I wash, and I don't know what the reason is. So, I want to ask the doctor what are the causes of vulvar itching?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Vulvar itching is mostly caused by vulvitis, which can be triggered by many reasons. Common types include simple vulvitis, fungal vulvitis, infantile vulvitis, and vulvitis caused by trichomoniasis.Suggestions: When vulvar inflammation occurs, regardless of the cause, patients primarily experience symptoms such as vulvar itching, redness, swelling, and burning pain. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, decocting and soaking in herbs that clear heat, detoxify, and eliminate dampness can significantly relieve discomfort and itching in the vulva, as well as treat vulvar inflammation. Commonly used herbs include prickly ash, cinnabar fruit, Sophora flavescens, and tetrastigma root bark.
