Vulvar itching and abnormal vaginal discharge are common gynecological symptoms that may be caused by various factors, including fungal infections, bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, allergic reactions, and others. Treatment with clotrimazole vaginal tablets and Huhong Jin Song antipruritic wash liquid has been attempted, but symptoms have not improved. This may be due to incomplete drug efficacy, drug allergy, severe condition, or the presence of other complications.

It is recommended that the patient seek timely medical consultation for comprehensive gynecological examinations, including routine vaginal discharge tests and vaginal secretion analysis, to identify the causative pathogens and determine the underlying causes. Based on the examination results, the physician will prescribe a targeted medication treatment plan, which may include oral or topical antibiotics, antiviral agents, or antifungal drugs. During treatment, the patient should maintain cleanliness and dryness of the vulvar area, change underwear regularly, and avoid using irritating washes or sanitary products. The patient should also maintain a healthy diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, increase intake of vegetables and fruits, ensure adequate rest, and engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity.
