Patient's question:
I have diabetes, and the symptom of vulvar itching has reappeared. I would like to ask, how should I deal with vulvar itching caused by diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes can lead to a weakened immune system in the human body, which may result in recurrent bacterial vulvar itching. This is primarily caused by gynecological inflammation. It is recommended to promptly undergo abdominal ultrasound and vaginal discharge tests. Treatment should be tailored based on the examination results. Oral medications should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Regular follow-up tests are beneficial for monitoring the improvement of the condition. It is essential to maintain good hygiene for the lower body, bathe frequently, change underwear and pants often, and maintain a monogamous relationship to prevent cross-infection.
