Doctor's answer:

Hello, vaginitis can cause obvious symptoms of external genital itching. Conditions like candidal vaginitis, bacterial vaginitis, and trichomoniasis vaginitis can all lead to external genital itching, causing skin allergies or dermatitis in the external genital area, or may also cause itching. During the menstrual period, if hygiene is not paid attention to and the external genital area is not cleaned frequently, or if synthetic underwear is worn daily, the external genital area is often exposed to a humid and hot environment, which commonly causes external genital itching. It is recommended that patients visit a regular hospital gynecology department for pathological examination of vaginal or cervical secretions to confirm the diagnosis and receive symptomatic treatment. During treatment, it is important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genital area, and avoid drinking alcohol and consuming spicy or irritating foods.
