Among them, many women said that their private parts are prone to itching during their periods, so some people asked, what are the causes of women's vulvar itching during their periods? What should women do if they have vulvar itching during menstruation? Next, I will introduce them one by one for your reference.

Causes of vulvar itching during menstruation

Experts point out that in addition to irregular menstruation, vulvar itching during menstruation must be taken seriously. This is mostly caused by candidal vaginitis or candidal vaginitis, which is a gynecological disease that seriously harms the patient's normal life. If not treated in time, it may cause cross-infection, resulting in other symptoms and affecting subsequent normal pregnancy. Among them, the reasons for women's vulva itching during menstruation are as follows:

1. If you use unclean sanitary napkins and hidden tampons in the vagina during your menstrual period, the cause may also be one of the reasons. At this time, if you use your hands or handkerchiefs to scrub your private parts vigorously, or use soap to clean them vigorously, the symptoms may worsen.

2. During the menstrual period, there is a lot of secretion, and the lower part of the vagina is cold and damp. If the sanitary napkin used is strong and is not changed frequently, coupled with the body's weakened immunity, local inflammation is easy to occur, causing itching.

3. Wearing tight underwear during menstruation can also cause vulvar itching, because the tighter the underwear is during menstruation, the harder it is to release the feeling, and the odor will become stronger over a long period of time. In addition, the long-term sealing state will continue to cause vulvar itching.

Treatment of vulvar itching in women during menstruation

1. Don’t abuse drugs.

Be sure not to abuse or misuse the drug, and avoid scratching and local friction.

2. Eliminate the root cause of itching.

Eliminate local or systemic factors that cause itching, such as trichomoniasis, fungal infection, diabetes, vaginitis, etc. If the vulvar itching caused by such physiological reasons, you should go to the hospital for medical treatment in time.

3. Keep the body clean and dry.

Many people wrap their lower body tightly when their menstrual period comes, in order to protect themselves from the pain, but the result of doing so is not worth the loss. The tighter the closure, the harder it is to release the odor. The odor will accumulate over a long period of time and become stronger. The long-term sealing state will cause some side effects to the human body and facilitate the growth of bacteria.

(3) Sanitary napkins should not be placed in the bathroom. The bathroom is damp and cold, and there is no sunlight, which makes it easy for bacteria and fungi to grow and contaminate the sanitary napkins. Sanitary napkins that have expired do not need to be used.

(4) After unpacking, the sanitary napkin should be used up in one go as much as possible. If it cannot be used up, the unpacked sanitary napkin should be placed in a clean environment, in a sealed package or container. It is best to use a zipper seal or sealing strip that seals multiple times.

5. Pay attention to the medical care of private parts.
