This was a retrospective study. Vulva pruritus is a common symptom in gynaecology and causes mental burden in patients. This study aimed to analyze effects of the Vitamin E and physical therapy on alleviating the symptoms of vulva pruritus. Forty nine (49) women diagnosed with vulva pruritus in the Huai'an First People's Hospital from November 2019 to November 2020 were included. All diagnosed cases received oral administration of Vitamin E, topical application of Vitamin E, and physical therapy consisting of low-frequency pelvic circulation and trigger point acupuncture. Clinical data, degree of itching, visual analog scale for evaluating pain, self-rating scale score for evaluating depression, and sexual function index were recorded. After treatment, the degree of itching, pain, and depression levels were significantly decreased. We conclude that a combination of Vitamin E plus physical therapy can alleviate symptoms of patients with vulva pruritus. We therefore recommend the use of this approach in clinical practice.
