Vaginal itching is indeed a phenomenon that troubles many girls. So why does it occur? What does it mean? First of all, let's relax and follow the editor to briefly understand the reasons for this situation, and then prescribe the right medicine for early detection and early treatment. I hope that everyone can learn knowledge after reading today's text, and can help confused female friends around them. I wish everyone can have a healthy body, so let's start today's topic!

Vulvar itching in young girls is mostly caused by inflammation, parasites, etc. This is because their ovarian function is not yet fully developed and the natural defense function of the vagina is poor, making them prone to various bacterial or non-bacterial vulvovaginitis and vulvar itching.

After entering puberty, the girl's vaginal epithelium thickens and vaginal folds appear. The endocrine secretions in the vagina also become acidic due to the rich content of lactobacilli, and the secretion volume also increases, and the natural defense function is significantly enhanced. At this time, vulvar itching is mostly caused by vulvovaginitis or Bartholin's glanditis due to lack of vulvar hygiene. If you do not pay attention to genital hygiene during menstruation after menarche, menstrual blood and vaginal secretions can contaminate and irritate the vulva and cause itching, and even develop into inflammation. The incidence of Trichomonas vulvovaginitis increases significantly after puberty. This is because the acidic vaginal environment caused by estrogen is a prerequisite for Trichomonas infection. Therefore, Trichomonas infection, which is rare in young girls, increases significantly after puberty. Girls are infected with Trichomonas mainly through indirect channels such as public baths, bathtubs, bath towels, toilets, and contact with sick relatives.

At present, various sexually transmitted diseases are resurfacing in mainland my country. If we do not pay attention to public health and personal hygiene, we may also cause infection through indirect routes and cause symptoms such as vulvar itching, and of course, it will cause various more serious consequences. The incidence of vulvar itching caused by pinworm infection is relatively low in teenage girls. The disease occurs because the female worms migrate to the vicinity of the anus to ovulate, which then causes vulvar itching, especially at night.

In addition, vulvar itching may also be a symptom of systemic diseases such as diabetes, jaundice, leukemia, anemia, etc. This may be accompanied by other corresponding clinical manifestations, and it is not difficult to find the primary disease after careful questioning and examination. Sometimes vulvar itching can also be the first symptom of systemic diseases, such as genital fungal infection during diabetes; other skin diseases such as tinea cruris and scabies can also cause vulvar itching.

The causes of vulvar itching include psychological factors, such as focusing too much attention on the genitals, and conditioned reflexes caused by other people talking about vulvar itching or scratching, which can cause vulvar itching.

Well, after reading so much, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of genital itching. So don’t be afraid to see a doctor, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment. More importantly, you must plan ahead, pay attention to personal hygiene, and develop good hygiene habits is more important than anything else. Finally, I wish you all can have a good mood and study and work with a healthy body.
