I want to ask what causes itching in the groin area, and which department should I go to?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Gynecology, vulvar itching is a symptom caused by various lesions of the vulva, but it can also occur in women with completely normal vulvas. It is generally more common in middle-aged women. When the itching intensifies, patients often become restless and unable to sit or lie down, which can affect their daily life and work. During treatment, attention should be paid to menstrual hygiene, maintaining vulvar cleanliness and dryness, avoiding scratching, and refraining from using hot water to rinse or soaps. In cases of infection, potassium permanganate solution can be used for sitz baths, but local washing is strictly prohibited. Clothing, especially underwear, should be loose, comfortable, and breathable. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods.
