Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hello, I am 50 years old, but have not been sexually active since last September. now the past 2 weeks I havae noticed and increase in itchiness at the clitorius and after rubbing it, the itching generally subsides. I have rubbed some over the counter lotrium gel on it, and it generally feels better. is there anything else I can do
Your symptoms are clearly suggestive of vaginal fungal infection. For this you have to take some antibiotic after an expert opinion preferably doxycycline for at-least 5 days along with tab cetrizine or tab Avil after meals for itching with tab rantac or cap omez empty stomach. You also have to take tab fluconazole 150 mg once daily in night for at-least 5-7 days or clingen-forte vaginal pessary to put into your vagina one pessary per night for at-least 7 days. Last but not the least, you have to maintain the hygiene of your private part by regular washing with simple shop water or you can also use V-wash vaginal gel for local application.
