What are the treatments for vulvar itching and tingling?

Vulvar itching and stinging can cause great harm to women both physically and psychologically. Since the vulva is a private part, it should not be cleaned blindly, and medication should not be used blindly without diagnosis and treatment. Generally speaking, patients with vulvar itching and tingling can relieve symptoms by applying vaginal medication, changing vaginal acidity or using traditional Chinese medicine under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Vaginal medication

The typical symptoms of candidal vaginitis are unbearable itching of the vulva, excessive vaginal discharge, often with milky white clots, severe congestion of the vaginal wall, and a tingling sensation. Treatment should start with killing the fungus. Commonly used medicines include suppositories, which are inserted deep into the vagina. Go to the hospital for regular check-ups to decide whether to continue taking the medicine.

2. Change the pH of the vagina

The most suitable pH value for Candida growth is 5.5. Therefore, using alkaline solution to flush the vulva and vagina and change the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina will inhibit the growth and reproduction of fungi. You can use 2% to 4% baking soda water to flush the vagina 1 to 2 times a day, and one course of treatment is 2 weeks. After flushing, wipe the vulva dry and keep it dry to inhibit the growth of Candida.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment

Using Chinese herbal decoctions that have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, killing insects and relieving itching, such as the Chinese medicine Su Nu San, to fumigate and wash the vulva can not only relieve symptoms, but also inhibit and eliminate Candida albicans. Since the itching, pain and burning symptoms of the patient's vulva are significantly alleviated after fumigation, it is more suitable for women with acute candidal vaginitis and Trichomonas vaginitis, and can relieve the patient's pain. The Chinese medicine Su Nu San is based on the traditional Chinese medicine external treatment fumigation therapy. With the help of medicinal power and heat, it is administered through the skin and mucous membranes to act on the affected area, promoting the unclogging of pores, harmonizing of blood vessels, and smooth flow of qi and blood, expelling the toxic evils of dampness and heat, nourishing blood and yin, and improving the body's immunity of the affected area, thereby achieving the purpose of curing female vulvar itching. Pour the Chinese medicine Su Nu San into a wooden basin, then pour in 3000ml of boiling water, and steam it while it is hot so that the medicinal power can penetrate directly into the vagina. Wait until the medicine is warm before applying it to the affected area. You can also take a sitz bath for 20 minutes each time. The temperature should be appropriate when bathing, so as not to burn the skin. Fumigation and washing should be done once a day, preferably at midnight for best effect.
