Why do women have itchy lower body?

Women are naturally more delicate and more shy, so they will experience itching in their lower body at any time and in any place. The itching in the lower body always makes many female friends restless and unable to sleep, which brings unspeakable pain to many female friends. Some female friends delay the treatment of the disease because they are too embarrassed to see a doctor. So, what is the reason for itching in women's lower body? Let's listen to what the experts have to explain.

Experts say that vulvar itching is a symptom that can be caused by various reasons. The cause should be identified and treated in a timely manner.

——Allergies in sexual intercourse between husband and wife

It is an allergic reaction that occurs during the sexual intercourse of a couple. They are allergic to semen, condom allergy, friction allergy, etc. Pubic lice: Pubic lice often lie on the surface of the skin or attach to the roots of pubic hair. Pubic lice eggs are grayish white and the size of a pinhead. The bites of pubic lice and their venom and excrement can cause itching and desquamation of the skin, and may lead to eczematous changes and folliculitis.

In addition, chronic diseases such as diabetes, jaundice, leukemia, vitamin A, B deficiency, hormonal imbalance, bad mood, topical contraceptives, condoms, chemical fiber underwear, urinary tract infection, menopausal women or pregnant women also often experience symptoms of vulvar itching.

-- Trichomoniasis

Itching of the vulva and vagina, foamy leucorrhea, often accompanied by a special odor, and eczematous changes of the vulva after scratching.

Pinworm infection: mainly affects young girls, but adult women can also be infected. When the anus relaxes at night, pinworms crawl out of the rectum and swim to the vulva to mate and lay eggs, irritating the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva, causing local itching.

·Scabies infection: When scabies occurs, the external skin lesions are the most severe, so the local itching is also the most obvious.

Drug allergy: Women with allergic constitutions may develop a "fixed drug rash" caused by taking sulfonamides or other drugs. This rash often occurs at the junction of the vulva's skin and mucosa. In addition to local itching, it may also be complicated by erosion and exudation. Vulvar itching may also occur if allergic reactions and contact dermatitis occur when using drugs for vaginal washing or vaginal insertion.

——Vulvar skin diseases

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 and blisters with unclear local skin boundaries and erosion exudate, while the latter often causes thickening of the skin with lichenification due to scratching. In addition to causing local itching, leukoplakia of the vulva is often accompanied by vulvar malnutrition and skin atrophy. Fungal vaginitis: itching of the vulva and vagina, flushing of the vulva, dregs-like leucorrhea with an odor. Scratching may cause eczematous changes of the vulva dermatitis.

——Local skin uncleanness

Some women use toilet paper improperly, and the skin of the vulva 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. Viral infection: Genital warts mostly occur on the female vaginal wall, cervix and vulva, and may also cause foul-smelling leucorrhea. Molluscum contagiosum occurring in the vulva often presents as round papules with an umbilical-like depression in the center, and may also cause itching in the vulva.
