What should I do if my vagina is itchy and has excessive vaginal discharge?

Itching of the vaginal opening and excessive vaginal discharge are usually caused by vaginitis. Vaginitis is a gynecological disease, which is more common in women. There are many reasons for vaginitis, and there are many types of vaginitis, so the treatment methods are also different. Vaginitis needs to be treated in time, and attention should be paid to symptomatic treatment. Here we introduce the better methods for treating vaginitis.

Symptoms of bacterial vaginitis include increased white vaginal discharge, foamy discharge and fishy odor. This is caused by not paying attention to personal hygiene or unclean sex life, multiple sexual partners, etc. Sometimes it gets better after a period of treatment, but relapses after a period of time. This is mostly due to cross-infection. Generally, the couple (male and female) should be treated together to cure both the symptoms and the root cause.

Symptoms of Trichomonas vaginitis: Purulent leucorrhea is white, liquid, and bloody, which is very obvious before and after menstruation. This treatment should be treated with metronidazole, a drug specifically for treating Trichomonas, which will be more effective.

Symptoms of fungal infection include leucorrhea that is like tofu dregs, milk-like, or sometimes yogurt-like liquid flowing out. These are fungal infections. You can buy some special vaginal cleansing liquids, such as Sanofi, or complex iodine. Take an appropriate amount of lotion every night to wash your vagina and keep it clean, hygienic and dry. After washing, you can apply some zinc oxide ointment. If it is chronic itching, you can use dexamethasone emulsion for external application, which is very effective.

It is better to eat more whole grains, such as brown rice, pumpkin and whole wheat bread. You can supplement your body with vitamins appropriately and eat more red dates or wolfberries. You can also take chlorpheniramine, metronidazole, and ethidium bromide orally, which can treat genital itching.

Avoid scratching your genitals with your fingernails, as this will not only damage the skin, but will also create a vicious cycle and make your genitals more itchy. Before going to bed, you can apply moisturizing lotion all over your body, or use essential oils and gently massage with your hands. For itchy areas, use more force.

The underwear you wear must be made of pure cotton. Pure cotton does not irritate the skin and is more comfortable to wear. The pants you wear must be loose, not too tight. If they are too tight, the vulva will not be breathable, which will cause various bacteria to affect the body. Underwear should be disinfected frequently and changed every day. It is best to expose it to the sun, which has a sterilization effect.
