Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a unique perspective on vaginal itching, viewing it as a symptom of an imbalance within the body's energy systems. TCM identifies various patterns of disharmony that could lead to vaginal itching, emphasizing the importance of diagnosing the specific pattern involved.

By understanding whether the issue stems from Dampness, Heat, Qi Deficiency, or Yin Deficiency, TCM practitioners can tailor treatments to rebalance the body's energies, thereby alleviating the itching and preventing its recurrence.
