Is it scabies in the vagina of a postmenopausal woman?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know why my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I also don't get morning erections anymore. Is it possible that postmenopausal women with vaginal itching have pubic lice?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, itching in the groin area does not necessarily prove the presence of pubic lice. Postmenopausal women are prone to atrophic vaginitis. During and after menopause, changes in sex hormones in the body can lead to vaginal discharge irritation. External factors such as tight underwear, the use of strong irritating medications, candidal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, and other conditions can all cause vaginal itching. Specific and thorough examination is necessary to determine the exact cause. Pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene and a healthy diet. Wishing you good health.
