Itching of the vulva and yellow vaginal discharge after menstruation has ended may be related to factors such as vulvar allergy, vulvar eczema, and bacterial vaginitis. Treatment can be carried out through topical medications, oral drugs, etc. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Vulvar Allergy
If allergic to sanitary pads used during menstruation, it may irritate the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva, causing symptoms such as itching and abnormal vaginal discharge. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as cetirizine hydrochloride tablets or loratadine tablets may be used for treatment.
2. Vulvar Eczema
Long-term wearing of tight underwear may lead to excessive local sweating, with sweat irritating the area and triggering eczema. Clinically, symptoms such as vulvar itching, papules, and abnormal vaginal discharge may occur. Under a doctor's guidance, treatments such as calamine lotion or mometasone furoate cream may be applied.
3. Bacterial Vaginosis
Poor local hygiene during menstruation may allow bacteria to invade the vagina, causing irritation and resulting in bacterial vaginitis. Clinical symptoms include vulvar itching and abnormal vaginal discharge. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as metronidazole tablets or tinidazole tablets may be prescribed for treatment.
In addition to the above causes, similar symptoms may also be associated with trichomoniasis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and other conditions. It is important to seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital, undergo appropriate examinations, and follow medical advice for treatment.
