What is the reason for itching and swelling of the genitals?

Nowadays, there are many kinds of diseases in the vagina, such as condyloma acuminatum, redness, swelling, itching, unbearable pain, and many other problems. Especially during sexual intercourse, there will be symptoms of unexplained bleeding. The editor believes that if women have vaginal itching and redness, it may affect their normal sexual life, and this issue needs to be paid more attention.

1. Vulvar dryness: Excessive use of potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths and vulvar dryness in postmenopausal women can also cause vulvar itching, which is the main cause of vulvar itching.

2. Various diseases of the vulva: such as vulvar eczema, vulvar hypopigmentation or leukoplakia, vulvar ringworm, vulvar neurodermatitis, vulvar condyloma, etc. can cause vulvar itching.

3. Secretion irritation: Inflammation of the reproductive tract caused by fungi, gonococci, Trichomonas, and bacteria can cause abnormal leucorrhea.

4. Chemicals and drugs stimulate local itching: such as alkaline soaps, condoms, sanitary napkins, synthetic underwear, etc., which directly contact the local area and stimulate itching.

5. Systemic diseases. Systemic diseases mainly include diabetes, anemia, leukemia, polycythemia, skin diseases, hepatobiliary diseases (such as jaundice), kidney diseases, lymphoma, etc. In addition to general itching, vulvar itching is often accompanied.

6. Drug rash: "Fixed drug rash" caused by women with allergic constitution taking sulfonamides or other drugs often occurs at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane of the vulva, causing local itching.

7. Skin diseases of the vulva: The skin lesions of tinea cruris often extend to the vulva, causing severe local itching. The local itching caused by vulvar eczema neurodermatitis is more severe, and vulvar leukoplakia also often causes local itching.

8. Mental factors: When you are worried, depressed, nervous, or irritable, you will often feel itchy vulva, which becomes more itchy the more you scratch it.

Vaginal redness, swelling and itching are mainly treated with targeted sterilization and disinfection. Of course, the causes need to be analyzed. The above points are what the editor knows. I believe that preventing these problems in daily life can help women have a healthy physique. Men and women should pay attention to a reasonable sex life, and women should protect their vaginal environment.
