What medicine is used for vulvar burning and itching

Unlike male sexual organs, female sexual organs are external organs and are relatively susceptible to bacterial invasion, which can lead to gynecological diseases. This is especially true during the menstrual period, when menstruation, while expelling toxins from the body, can also easily lead to bacterial invasion. If you do not pay attention to vaginal cleanliness and hygiene, it can easily lead to vaginal infections and other phenomena. So when women experience symptoms of vulvar burning and itching, what medicine should they use?

1. What medicine should I use for stinging and burning pain in the vulva?

In case of acute inflammation, you can use 1% resorcinol plus 1‰ ethazapine solution, or 3% boric acid solution for wet compresses, and apply 40% zinc oxide ointment topically after washing. For chronic itching, you can apply corticosteroid ointment or 2% diphenhydramine ointment.

The general treatment for vulvar stinging is to pay attention to menstrual hygiene and keep the vulva clean and dry; avoid scratching, washing with hot water and using soap; keep underwear breathable and mainly made of cotton; do not eat raw, cold, irritating and spicy foods. Vulvar diseases caused by different reasons require different medication methods and need to be treated symptomatically.

2. How to treat vulvar stinging and burning pain

2.1 Drug treatment

Although the treatment of vulvar pain is nonspecific, it is still meaningful. Most patients with vulvar pain will experience significant improvement in their symptoms after a careful and patient doctor's examination of the vulva and vagina and education of the patients.

2.2 Anti-inflammatory treatment

It is necessary to carry out multiple treatment measures at the same time to prevent secondary fungal infection and apply some local medications to fight inflammation when there is pain.

2.3 Antidepressant treatment

Explain to patients that this drug is for pain treatment and not for depression. Most patients will experience improvement in symptoms after a few weeks or a month at an appropriate dose.

2.4 Other treatments

The injection site was limited to the vestibular area and covered all diseased areas. Similarly, women with vestibulitis who have pain confined to the vestibular area often experience significant improvement after a vestibulectomy, which includes the inner skin of the labia minora and the inner opening of the membrane.

2.5. Continuous antifungal therapy

It may be more effective in women with circumferential vulvitis. To eliminate Candida albicans and avoid exposing the vulva to irritating creams.
