The persistent itching in your private area is likely due to a yeast infection or diabetic vulvovaginitis, which is common in people with uncontrolled diabetes. Since you’ve had the issue for two months, you may need oral antifungal medication (like fluconazole) along with a topical antifungal cream (clotrimazole or miconazole) for 7-14 days. To soothe the itching, you can use calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream temporarily. Maintain good hygiene by wearing cotton underwear, keeping the area dry, and avoiding scented soaps or washes. Since recurring infections can be a sign of poorly controlled blood sugar, managing your diabetes is essential. For your chronic fissure and constipation, continue using lactulose syrup but consider adding psyllium husk (isabgol) before bedtime to improve bowel movements. Eat a fiber-rich diet with vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, and drink plenty of water to keep stools soft. Taking sitz baths (warm water with Epsom salt) twice daily can help reduce pain and promote healing. You can also apply lidocaine gel or nitroglycerin ointment for pain relief. Avoid straining during bowel movements to prevent worsening the fissure. To better manage your uncontrolled diabetes, focus on dietary changes and regular monitoring. Limit refined carbs and sugary foods while including lean proteins, healthy fats, and fiber-rich foods. Stay hydrated and engage in regular physical activity to improve blood sugar levels. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult a gynecologist for the vaginal infection and a proctologist or gastroenterologist for the fissure. You may also need to see your diabetologist for medication adjustments to achieve better glucose control.
