Why do women feel itchy down there?

The vulva is a part that is very susceptible to infection. It is part of the urinary system. When the entire urinary system is infected, it may cause itching and discomfort of the vulva. Urinary tract inflammation is one of the more common diseases in recent years. Don’t underestimate urinary tract infection, it is accompanied by many diseases. Let me tell you the reasons why women’s genitals itch.

1. Genital skin diseases

The skin lesions of tinea cruris often extend to the vulva, causing severe local itching. The local itching caused by vulvar eczema and neurodermatitis is more severe.

2. Viral infection

Genital warts mostly occur in the female vaginal wall, cervix and vulva. Contagious warts occurring on the vulva often present as clusters of small finger-like projections, which may occasionally cause itching of the vulva.

3. Sexual allergy

This is an allergic reaction that occurs during sexual intercourse. There are people who are allergic to semen, condoms, and friction.

4. Diabetes

When women suffer from diabetes, due to the irritation of the vulvar skin by urine sugar, they are prone to complications of bacterial vulvar and vaginitis, causing vulvar itching.

5. Fungal vaginitis

Women with fungal vaginitis will experience itching of the vulva and vagina, vulvar hot flashes, dreg-of-wheat-like leucorrhea, and an odor. Scratching may cause eczematous changes in the vulvar dermatitis.

6. Trichomoniasis

This disease is manifested by itching of the vulva and vagina, foamy leucorrhea, often accompanied by a special odor, and scratching will also cause eczematous changes in the vulva. A vaginal smear test can be used to distinguish it from fungal vaginitis.

7. Insect infection

Pubic lice, pinworm infestation, and scabies infestation are also occasional causes of vulvar itching.

There are many reasons that can cause vulvar itching, but I believe that no matter which one causes vulvar itching, it should not be underestimated. Inflammation of the vulva is likely to cause other more serious urinary system diseases, so once female friends have symptoms of vulvar itching, they must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
