1. Fungal vaginitis

Itching of the vulva and vagina, flushing of the vulva, and leucorrhea resembling bean curd residue with an odor. Scratching may cause eczematous changes of the vulva dermatitis.

Clotrimazole suppositories or miconazole suppositories can also be used. (2) Oral administration of nystatin or fluconazole, etc. (3) Apply nystatin cold cream or miconazole cream topically twice a day. Pregnant women with candidal vaginitis may recover after delivery, but the newborn is at risk of infection, so timely treatment is still needed, preferably with local medication. 3. Male carriers must also receive routine treatment, which is one of the important measures to prevent recurrence of female patients.

2. Trichomoniasis

Itching of the vulva and vagina, foamy leucorrhea, often accompanied by a special odor, and scratching also causes eczematous changes in the vulva dermatitis. A vaginal smear test can be used to distinguish it from the above conditions.

The efficacy of local medications alone is not as good as systemic medications, and the effectiveness of local medications is ≤50%. For topical use, one metronidazole suppository can be used once a night for 7 consecutive days.

If the itching is severe, antihistamines can be used to relieve itching. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, antibiotics should be used.

4. Pinworm infection

It mainly attacks young girls, but adult women can also be infected. When the anus relaxes at night, pinworms crawl out of the rectum and swim to the vulva to mate and lay eggs, and irritate the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva, causing local itching.

Therefore, the treatment should be collective medication at the same time to achieve the goal of cure.
