How to treat vaginal itching in women
Disease description:
Recently, I have been experiencing persistent itching in the vulvar area, which is quite uncomfortable and distressing. Additionally, I have noticed abnormal vaginal discharge. I would like to ask the doctor, how can vulvar itching in women be effectively treated?

Female genital itching should first determine the cause of the itching, which may be due to vaginal infections (such as candidiasis, trichomoniasis), skin disorders (such as eczema, contact dermatitis), vaginal dryness, hot and humid environments, or poor personal hygiene. During treatment, the following measures may be taken:
1. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genital area: Choose breathable underwear, avoid wearing tight clothing, change underwear promptly, and maintain cleanliness of the external genital region.
2. Medication treatment: Select appropriate medications according to the underlying cause, such as antibiotics for treating vaginal infections, antiallergic drugs for itching caused by allergies, and application of antipruritic lotions or creams to relieve itching symptoms.
3. Physical therapy: For certain conditions, such as squamous hyperplasia or skin sclerosis of the vulva, laser or cryotherapy may be used.
4. General treatment: Stabilize emotions and avoid psychological factors that may exacerbate itching; maintain a balanced diet and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods; for itching caused by allergies, avoid contact with allergens.
Patients should adopt targeted comprehensive treatment measures to achieve optimal therapeutic effects. At the same time, maintaining good personal hygiene and lifestyle habits is also an important measure for preventing vulvar itching.
