Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is often caused by the excessive abnormal vaginal discharge from trichomoniasis or fungal infections, which irritates the external genitalia, leading to itching. If there is the use of disinfectant solutions to rinse the external genitalia or vagina, or the insertion of certain drugs into the vagina (such as sulfonamides, furacillin, highly alkaline soaps, potassium permanganate solutions, etc.), it may cause allergic reactions or dermatitis in the external genitalia, also leading to itching. During menstruation, if hygiene is not maintained properly, or if rubber or plastic menstrual pads are used without frequent cleaning of the external genitalia, menstrual blood or vaginal secretions may accumulate for a long time in the external genitalia. Alternatively, wearing synthetic underwear daily keeps the external genitalia in a moist and warm environment, often causing itching. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital gynecology department for pathological examination of vaginal or cervical secretions to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment.
