Why is the girl's vagina itchy?

The vagina is the most private part of the female body, and it is also the position that ensures a harmonious sexual life. Therefore, the health and hygiene of the vagina are of vital importance. The symptoms of many diseases begin with vaginal itching, but the specific cause of vaginal itching must be determined based on the results of clinical examination. What are the diseases that can cause vaginal itching? Let’s take a look with the editor.

1. Infectious diseases: Trichomonas vaginitis and candidal vaginitis cause excessive vaginal discharge, which can irritate the vulva and cause itching.

2. Local lesions of the vulva: Vulvar skin diseases such as vulvar eczema, neurodermatitis, chronic vulvar malnutrition, vulvar tumors, etc. can cause vulvar itching.

3. Bad hygiene habits: If you do not pay attention to cleaning the vulva, vaginal secretions or menstrual blood will accumulate in the vulva, causing itching. On the contrary, washing the vulva several times a day, or frequently using strong alkaline soap, or washing the vulva with potassium permanganate water will make the vulva skin too dry and cause itching.

5. Stimulation by sensitive substances: Allergy to systemic or local medications on the vulva causes vulvar itching.

6. Systemic diseases: For example, vulvar itching caused by vitamin A and B deficiency, jaundice, anemia, leukemia and other diseases is part of systemic itching. The diabetes in diabetic patients irritates the vulva and is also a common factor causing itching. In addition, obese patients may experience vulvar itching due to excessive secretion of sebaceous glands and sweat glands, which stimulate the vulva.

7. Irritation from feces and urine: A very small number of patients may experience itching due to long-term irritation of the vulva by feces and urine due to urethrovaginal fistula, urinary incontinence, or anal fistula.

8. Mental factors: Some patients are unable to find out the cause of vulvar itching, which may be due to excessive mental stress. If you are depressed, nervous, or anxious, you are more likely to develop vulvar itching.

The above 8 diseases are all possible causes of vaginal itching. If symptomatic treatment is required, it is best to go to the hospital for an examination first to find out the cause and then determine the treatment plan. The hygiene of the genitals is extremely important. Improper hygiene can easily cause infection. Bacteria can enter the body through the vagina and affect the uterine cavity.
