What causes vaginal itching and swelling?

In today's society, the incidence of vaginal itching is very high, and basically more than half of women have experienced vaginal itching symptoms. However, conditions such as genital itching are not caused by a single factor. The factors that cause genital itching are relatively complex. If you treat it without checking the cause clearly, not only will the treatment effect be poor, the best time for treatment will be delayed, and the situation will become more and more serious.

There are generally three types of vulvar itching: Trichomonas, fungus and pubic lice.

1 Trichomonas infection:

This disease is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse or indirectly (through baths, tubs, swimming pools, clothing, dressings and contaminated equipment, etc.), and the main symptoms are itching of the vulva, increased leucorrhea, which is light yellow and foamy, and in severe cases may be mixed with blood. There is also a burning sensation, pain during intercourse, and when accompanied by urethral infection, there may be frequent urination, painful urination, and even hematuria.

2 Fungal infection:

The main symptoms of candidal vaginitis are severe spasm and itching of the external vagina, accompanied by a burning sensation in the external vulva, slight redness and swelling, or excessive vaginal discharge (yellow-green bean dregs-like and fishy). The itching symptom is the most annoying, often making people restless and unable to sleep or eat. Therefore, those who suffer from this disease are eager to seek treatment and want to get rid of the pain as soon as possible. In fact, it is not difficult to treat candidal vaginitis. Patients can basically recover after taking medicine for one week under the guidance of a specialist.

3. Pubic lice:

The treatment of this disease is mainly external medication. First, shave off the pubic hair as much as possible and burn it with fire. Underwear and underpants should be boiled or ironed. External medications include: 0.01% dichlorobenzene ether permethrin solution, which is a highly effective and low-toxic insecticide. Apply it once to wet all the pubic hair and wash it off after 3 days. This medicine also kills pubic lice eggs and is harmless to the human body.

The treatment measures for genital itching caused by different reasons are also different. In addition, patients need to pay attention to maintaining genital hygiene during treatment. If they do not pay attention to hygiene, the effect of treatment will be greatly reduced. In addition, women need to change sanitary napkins more often during menstruation, otherwise bacteria will grow and cause inflammation.
