What to do if vaginal itching is unbearable?

Many women suffer from vulvar itching, a gynecological disease, which is mainly due to a pathological manifestation of various gynecological diseases. It mainly includes itching in various parts of the anus, labia, vagina, etc. Many patients will be restless, and it may also affect their sexual life and quality of life. The disease is more likely to occur in middle-aged women. What are the specific disadvantages? The editor will have these solutions.

Some people mistakenly believe that the vulva is a dirty place, and wash it with soap, hot water, salt water, cleaning liquid or disinfectant every night. They also say that it feels comfortable after washing. In fact, the vulva is not dirtier than the mouth and nose. Excessive cleaning, disinfection, and "for the sake of comfort" will cause imbalance of vulva flora and local inflammation, make itching more severe, and even cause perianal inflammation, cystitis, retrograde pyelonephritis, etc.

8 things to note when dealing with vulvar itching

1. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene, change menstrual pads frequently and wash them frequently during menstruation.

2. Keep the vulva clean and dry, do not wash it with hot water or scrub it with soap.

3. Avoid misusing or abusing drugs, scratching or local friction.

4. Avoid alcohol, spicy food, seafood, and medicines that may cause allergies.

5. Do not wear tight crotch pants. Underwear should be loose, breathable, and preferably made of cotton.

6. If there is local damage or infection, soak it in 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution (add a small amount of potassium permanganate powder to warm water to make it light red, not too concentrated) twice a day, each time for 20 to 30 minutes. It is best to see a doctor and follow his advice.

7. See a doctor to check whether there is fungus or trichomonas. If so, seek timely treatment instead of using "anti-itching water" to treat it yourself.

8. Patients who fail to recover after long-term treatment should have their blood sugar checked.

Gynecological diseases have many harmful effects on women's bodies. It may be because they do not pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva and do not use hormone drugs specifically. If this continues for a long time, it will lead to worsening of vaginal diseases. Bacteria are relatively stubborn, especially during menstruation, when bacteria can easily cause infection, so you need to maintain your health and develop a habit of drinking water frequently to help detoxify your body.
