The main causes of female vulvar itching and leucorrhea are:

Cause 1: External vulvar skin disease

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. The former is manifested as papules, blisters and erosions with unclear skin boundaries, while the latter often causes thickening of the skin with lichenification due to scratching. In addition to causing local itching, vulvar leukoplakia is often accompanied by vulvar malnutrition and skin atrophy.

Reason 2: Virus infection

Genital warts mostly occur on the female vaginal wall, cervical opening and external vulva, and also cause leucorrhea with a foul odor. Molluscum contagiosum occurring on the external vulva often presents as round papules with an umbilical-like depression in the center, and may also cause external vulva itching. Genital herpes is often manifested by the appearance of bright, rice-sized blisters on the urethral opening and vaginal wall, in addition to local itching.

Reason 3: Sexual allergy

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

Reason 4: Fungal vaginitis

Itching of the vulva and vagina, flushing of the vulva, and leucorrhea resembling bean curd residue with an odor. Scratching may cause eczematous changes of the vulva dermatitis.

Reason 5: Trichomonas vaginalis

Itching of the vulva and vagina, with foamy leucorrhea, often accompanied by a special odor, and eczematous changes of the vulvar dermatitis after scratching. A vaginal smear test can be used to distinguish it from the above conditions.

Reason 6: Local skin is not clean

Some women use toilet paper improperly, and the vulva skin is soaked by menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, and even urine, feces and sweat, which causes chronic inflammation of the local skin and causes vulva itching.

There are many reasons for vulvar itching and excessive vaginal discharge. In addition to the above points, not paying attention to vulvar hygiene during menstruation, wearing clothes that are too tight and not breathable, and underwear that is not made of cotton may all lead to vulvar itching and excessive vaginal discharge. Therefore, women must pay more attention to this in their daily lives to prevent and control the occurrence of the disease.

In fact, once many gynecological diseases occur, they often cause women to experience symptoms such as vaginal itching and excessive leucorrhea due to stimulation. Therefore, the cause of vulvar itching and excessive leucorrhea needs to be further understood before symptomatic treatment can be given.
