What should I do if I have vaginal itching?

Many women are troubled by the problem of vaginal itching, especially now that the weather is hot, the chance of this kind of situation increasing. When the vagina is itchy and unbearable, women will feel very embarrassed. In fact, conditions such as vaginal itching may be caused by gynecological diseases, so timely treatment is very necessary. The editor recommends that you receive reasonable treatment after finding out the cause.

"Vaginal itching is actually a symptom. About 20% of patients in gynecological clinics go to the gynecology department because of vulvar discomfort, vaginal itching and other reasons. Especially when the weather is hot and humid, the number of patients will be more." Generally speaking, most patients with vaginal itching suffer from Candida vaginitis, followed by bacterial vaginitis, and a very small number suffer from Trichomonas vaginitis.

Generally speaking, women in their childbearing period or menopause have weakened body resistance. When the lactobacilli in the vagina decrease, it will lead to an imbalance of vaginal flora and changes in pH value. When the vagina is too acidic, they will suffer from candidal vaginitis; when the vagina is too alkaline, they will suffer from bacterial vaginitis.

"For common vaginitis, only topical medication is needed." "For candidal vaginitis, antifungal suppositories are often used in the vagina, and for bacterial vaginosis, anti-inflammatory drugs or lactic acid preparations are used to quickly increase the resistance of the vagina."

It is worth noting that unless it is recurrent vaginitis (4 attacks within a year), try not to use antibiotics.

Therefore, when vaginal itching occurs, experts remind you not to take medication at will, stop having sex, go to the hospital for relevant gynecological examinations to confirm the condition, and then conduct systematic targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

Developing healthy living habits is also of great help in improving genital itching. Nowadays, many office white-collar workers sit for a long time. In fact, this is very unfavorable for the recovery of vaginitis. Because of long-term sitting environment, the vagina will be in a stuffy state, which aggravates the breeding of bacteria and makes genital itching more and more serious.
