Patient's question:
Itching of the external genitalia has persisted for 3 years, and sometimes cracking also appears around the vagina, which is very painful. It seems that the itching starts around the time of ovulation, and it disappears after menstruation. Cracking has appeared since sexual activity.Doctor's answer:
The consideration you described is candidiasis, which is generally caused by a weakened body and changes in the acidic environment of the vagina, leading to streptococcal infection. It is more common in diabetes, long-term estrogen abuse. It is recommended to actively treat the primary disease, anti-inflammatory and anti-streptococcal treatment, such as topical clotrimazole suppositories, nystatin effervescent tablets, and ketoconazole tablets. Avoid spicy foods, prevent cross-infection between couples, and strengthen physical exercise.
