Treatment for Vulvar Itching

A gynecological condition that causes severe itching of the vulva

Vulvar itching, also called pruritus vulvae, is a gynecological condition that causes severe itching of the vulva.

There are five treatment options: prescription ointment, oral medication, injection treatment, laser treatment and surgery. The choice depends on your symptoms, and a biopsy is carried out if needed. The condition often recurs, and symptoms can improve by more than 90% only when the cause is properly identified and the right treatment is given. Because it is a chronic condition that is hard to cure in one go, it needs ongoing care.
