Why is the vulva itchy?

In daily life, many women suffer from vaginal itching, which makes them restless and very troubled. In fact, these common diseases can be basically cured through simple daily care and treatment, so it is very necessary to understand some basic knowledge about daily genital diseases. Well, today, let's make a simple analysis and introduction to the question of why the vulva is itchy.

1. Inflammation: Vaginitis or cervicitis caused by infections such as Trichomonas, fungi, bacteria, chlamydia, mycoplasma, gonorrhea, etc., the large amount of abnormal leucorrhea discharged will irritate the vulva and make it itchy.

2. Vulvar skin diseases: such as vulvar eczema, neurodermatitis, atrophic lichen sclerosus, vulvar dermatitis, etc. These diseases can not only cause varying degrees of itching, but also the vulvar skin may have varying degrees of whitening, atrophy or thickening changes.

3. Local irritation: such as flushing the vulva and vagina with disinfectant, or placing certain drugs in the vagina (such as sulfonamides, furacillin, chlorhexidine suppositories, etc.), causing vulvar skin allergies or dermatitis.

4. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation, or using rubber or plastic menstrual belts, and failing to clean the vulva regularly, causing menstrual blood or vaginal secretions to accumulate in the vulva for a long time. Or wearing synthetic underwear on a regular basis will often keep the vulva in a wet and hot environment, which can often cause itching of the vulva. Frequently washing the vulva with strongly alkaline soap or hot water will cause the vulva skin to become dry, lack oil and become itchy.

Once you encounter health problems, you must seek solutions and treatments in a timely manner. Remember not to avoid professional treatment just because the condition does not get worse in a short period of time or because you are afraid to go to the hospital. It is extremely unscientific and irrational to seek medical treatment in a hurry. I hope the above answer to the question of why the vulva is itchy can help friends who have doubts about this issue.
