What to do if you have vaginal itching during menstruation

All physical reactions of women during their menstrual period can reflect their physical health. Take menstruation for example. If a woman has any abnormal condition during menstruation, it means that there is something wrong with our body. For example, if the genitals become itchy during menstruation, we need to pay attention to it and not scratch it at will. Next, let’s take a detailed look at what we should do when this happens.

Don't scratch it during menstruation

In fact, private itching during menstruation is mostly related to the environment. Just as a warm and humid environment makes it easy for mushrooms to grow, the damp and stuffy environment in the genitals can also make bacteria multiply rapidly. During menstruation, the private parts secrete a lot and are mostly in a moist state. If the sanitary napkin you choose is thick and is not changed often, the airtight environment, coupled with the relatively low resistance during menstruation, allows bacteria to multiply rapidly and cause local inflammation or vulvar itching. If at this time, women can't help scratching, or rub their vagina vigorously, wash it vigorously with soap, or scald it with hot water, it will not only fail to eliminate the root cause of the disease, but will also worsen the symptoms and make the itching more severe.

How to deal with menstrual itching

The best way to deal with vulvar itching during menstruation is not to scratch, scald or rub, but to keep the body clean and dry, such as using sanitary napkins with dry mesh and good breathability, and washing the vulva frequently to avoid itching and bacterial growth. Also make sure to choose clean sanitary napkins and change them frequently, and wash your hands before changing them.

In order to avoid poor ventilation, you should also avoid wearing tight clothes during menstruation. If the private parts are covered too tightly, the body odor will not be easy to dissipate. If it accumulates for a long time, the embarrassing smell will become stronger and stronger. The long-term closed state can easily cause vulvar itching.

It should be noted that when itching occurs, all rough behaviors should be prohibited, such as scratching. The correct approach should be to wash the area with warm water, replace the dirty sanitary napkin, put on pure cotton and breathable underwear, and try to keep it clean and dry. Also, be careful to avoid drinking alcohol or eating spicy food during menstruation. If the itching does not subside and is accompanied by other symptoms and feels abnormal, you should consider that it is caused by an internal disease and go to the gynecology department as soon as possible.

At the same time, through the detailed introduction, we also know what we need to do when this happens. I hope the above information will be helpful to women.
