Vaginal inflammation and itching in women are usually caused by vaginitis or vulvitis. The most common ones in life are Trichomonas and fungal vaginitis. The main symptoms of these two diseases are vulvar itching and abnormal leucorrhea.

What to do if vaginal opening itches?

1. The cause of general benign fleshy hyperplasia is unknown, it does not require treatment and is not contagious.

2. One thing to consider is that genital warts are caused by HPV infection. You should pay attention to whether the bumps become larger, increase in number, and whether there are thorns on the surface. If not, it is not genital warts.

3. It may be folliculitis, inflammation of the sebaceous glands or furunculosis. This is mainly caused by poor hygiene. You can apply erythromycin ointment or take a little antibiotic orally. Be careful not to squeeze it, otherwise it will easily lead to the spread of infection. Avoid spicy food and eat a low-fat diet.

To treat vaginal itching, we must first clarify the cause of vaginal itching:

External stimuli. 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.

Systemic diseases.

The main ones are diabetes, anemia, leukemia, polycythemia, skin diseases, liver and gallbladder 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.

Local 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.

In daily life, women must pay attention to the cleanliness of their private parts, especially underwear, which must be washed frequently, preferably every day. You should always wear loose and breathable pants to keep your genitals dry and not provide an environment for bacteria to grow. This can prevent diseases such as vaginitis to a certain extent.
