Itchy external genitalia and yellow vaginal discharge in women are usually caused by gynecological inflammation, possibly due to vaginitis, cervicitis, etc., and may also be related to poor personal hygiene or low resistance. It is advisable to go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge examination and receive appropriate treatment. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be avoided, attention should be paid to lower body hygiene, underwear should be washed frequently, and a light diet is recommended to help improve the inflammation.
