Doctor's answer:

Common conditions that cause itching at the female urethral opening are mostly gynecological inflammatory diseases such as vaginitis, urethritis, and cervicitis. Chronic urethritis is the main cause of itching at the female urethral opening, so it is important to pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia because these issues are all caused by inflammation and require timely medical treatment. As everyone knows, prostatitis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is essential to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, with a focus on a light diet and avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
