Patient's question:
Female, 28 years old. I have had itching in my lower vagina for over a year. It is especially itchy at night, sometimes so itchy that I can't sleep. Even when I do sleep, I wake up due to the itching. I have been unable to sleep well night after night. My main symptoms are itching and dryness in the lower vagina. When it becomes dry, it forms scales, and after scratching, it peels off like scabs.Doctor's answer:
Considering the possibility of vaginitis, it is an inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and submucosal connective tissue, a common disease in gynecology clinics. It is recommended to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a check-up. If diagnosed, if the itching is indeed unbearable, you can open a vitamin E capsule and use a sterile cotton swab to apply some of the oil to the vaginal opening, which may provide some relief from itching.
