Causes of itchy bumps at the vaginal opening

The vagina is the reproductive tract of women, the main tool for sexual behavior and the only channel for reproduction. Therefore, the vagina is a very important sexual organ for women and is unique. Protecting the vagina is a very important activity, and women also pay great attention to it in their lives. However, women have more gynecological diseases, which increases the chance of vaginal disease. For example, the phenomenon of small itchy bumps at the vaginal opening is also a type of gynecological disease. So, what is the reason for the small itchy bumps at the vaginal opening?

The most common local factors causing this disease are:

①External stimulation. Sometimes birth control pills can also cause itching. Itching can also be caused by tight underwear, friction between underwear, and irritation from menstrual belts. Vulvar itching can be caused by not paying attention to the hygiene of the vulva, irritants from vaginal secretions, vulvar secretions, sweat, moisture, immersion, chemical fiber underwear, unqualified menstrual belts, rough toilet paper, allergies caused by vulvar and vaginal medication, and frequent washing of the vulva with soap. Vulvar itching is often accompanied by anal itching, which is related to irritation from external hemorrhoids, long-term incontinence, anal fistula, anal fissure, anal excrement and fecal residues.

②Local diseases of the vulva. Local diseases of the vulva include gonorrhea, non-gonococcal urethritis, fungal or Trichomonas vaginitis, scabies, pubic lice, ringworm, atrophic keratotic lichen, leukoplakia, enterobiasis, contact dermatitis, cervicitis, etc. Anal itching in female children is often caused by pinworms and often worsens at night. In addition, anal itching often spreads to the vulva and causes itching. Apocrine prurigo and sweat gland follicle keratosis can also cause severe vulva itching.

③Systemic diseases. Systemic diseases mainly include diabetes, anemia, leukemia, polycythemia, skin diseases, hepatobiliary diseases (such as jaundice), kidney diseases, lymphoma, etc. In addition to general itching, vulvar itching is often accompanied. According to statistics, 3.4% of 500 diabetic patients had localized itching, mainly vulvar itching.

④Mental factors. If you are worried, depressed, nervous, or irritable, you will often feel itchy vulva, and the more you scratch, the more itchy it becomes.

⑤Dietary factors. Lack of iron, riboflavin, vitamin A, vitamin E, fat, etc. in food can cause dryness, flaking and itching of the vulvar skin.

From the above explanation, the phenomenon of small itchy bumps at the vaginal opening is a typical female reproductive disease, which can also be said to be a gynecological disease. Therefore, women should go to the hospital for examination in time to find out the cause of the disease and find treatment methods in time. They should also maintain hygiene and take a bath frequently in their daily lives.
