Question
After giving birth, I experience vaginal moisture and itching, especially worse at night. What could be the cause of this, and how should it be treated? What medications are suitable?
Answer
This condition may be due to damp-heat in the lower body, leading to dampness and heat settling in the vagina and causing the itching and moisture. Under a doctor’s guidance, you can take relevant oral medications and use vaginal rinse solutions for treatment. At the same time, pay attention to personal hygiene, change your underwear frequently, and regularly expose your underwear to sunlight for sterilization. Also, maintain a light diet and avoid eating spicy, greasy foods.
