Why is it itchy on both sides of the vulva?

Many women suffer from gynecological diseases, which will cause discomfort in their genitals. Therefore, they need to take appropriate treatment methods to ensure the safety of the patients. So why do the sides of the vulva itch? Let's ask an expert to introduce this issue to us.

Although a few sexually transmitted diseases can cause genital itching, genital itching is more often caused by some common skin diseases. Many unmarried and decent women who suffer from this disease may encounter this situation and must go to the dermatology department of a regular hospital for treatment. Generally speaking, the following aspects can be considered:

1. Fungal vaginitis: itching of the vulva and vagina, flushing of the vulva, dregs-like leucorrhea with odor, and scratching may cause eczematous changes of the vulvar dermatitis.

2. Vaginal trichomoniasis: Itching of the vulva and vagina, foamy leucorrhea, often accompanied by a special odor, and eczematous changes in the vulva after scratching. A vaginal smear test can be used to distinguish it from the above conditions.

3. Pubic lice: Pubic lice often stick to the skin surface or attach to the roots of pubic hair. Pubic lice eggs are grayish white and the size of a needle. 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.

You can go to the hospital to check routine leucorrhea and colposcopy to see if there is any infection of the cervix in addition to vaginal inflammation. If it is vaginitis or cervicitis, it needs treatment as soon as possible.

The above is the expert’s opinion on this issue. If the above problems occur, patients need to consult experts in time to solve them. This will ensure the patient’s health and avoid the above problems but untimely treatment, which will lead to dangerous situations for patients.
