What lotion should I use to clean my vulva?

After vulvar itching occurs, many women will choose to consider using some lotions and medicines for cleaning, but this cannot be done blindly. You need to consult a doctor and pay attention to menstrual health and hygiene. The most common one is Chlorhexidine lotion.

General treatment:

Pay attention to menstrual hygiene and keep the vulva clean and dry. Avoid scratching, washing with hot water, and using soap. When there is an infection, use potassium permanganate solution for a sitz bath. The underwear should be breathable and loose, and avoid alcohol and spicy or allergic foods.

Treatment of the cause:

Trichomonas vaginitis can be treated by external washing with lead acetate solution or 3% boric acid solution, followed by oral or vaginal medication. Take metronidazole orally, 0.2g each time, 3 times a day, for 7 consecutive days. Couples can take it together. Apply the medicine vaginally, once a night, 0.2-0.4g each time, for 7 consecutive days. Repeat the above treatment 3 days after the next menstruation is over. If the test is negative for three consecutive times, the patient is considered cured. During the treatment period, sexual intercourse is prohibited and medication is not allowed during menstruation. For candidal vaginitis, wash the vulva with 4% soda water or 1/2000 Sanisol solution, and then apply medicine. Both 4% clotrimazole ointment and nystatin ointment are effective. Apply the medicine for 7 consecutive nights, and repeat once 3 days after the next menstruation is over, for a total of 3 times. Patients are considered cured if three consecutive vaginal discharge tests are negative.

Symptomatic treatment:

For external use, in case of acute inflammation, you can use 1% levofloxacin plus 1% rivanol solution, or use Chlorhexidine or complex iodine to wash the vulva, and then apply 40% zinc oxide ointment. Chronic itching can be treated with dexamethasone emulsion. Oral medication

Vitamins B, C, A, and E can be supplemented appropriately. Chlorpheniramine 4 mg, 3 times a day. Menopausal patients should take 0.25-0.5 mg of ethylenediamine powder orally once a day for 10 consecutive days. Chinese medicine wash

Boil 15g of Cnidium monnieri, 15g of Stemona tuberosa, 15g of White Thin Cortex, 15g of Hibiscus mume, and 15g of Sophora flavescens in water for external washing or sitz bath, 1 to 2 times a day.
