Genital Irritation in Females
What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?
When a
female complains of irritation in the genitalia, the healthcare provider will
ask questions, including:
when the irritation started
whether the irritation is constant
if anything decreases the irritation or makes it worse
if there any other symptoms, such as fever, vomiting, bloating, headache, itching, back pain, or flank pain
if there is any discharge or bleeding from the vagina and, if so, what
color and consistency it is
if there is any change in the menstrual cycle, if periods are regular, if there is any chance of pregnancy, or if she has gone through menopause
what medications, drugs, or herbs she takes, if any
what other medical problems she has, if any
