Why is my vulva itchy during my period?

Women are most afraid of developing some disease during their period, but they are helpless. Some women have stated that vulvar itching during menstruation may be due to gynecological diseases or there may be problems with the sanitary napkins we use. Therefore, today we need to give you a targeted introduction to the causes of vulvar itching during menstruation.

If women find vulva itching during menstruation, it may be due to the sanitary napkins we use during menstruation. Some sanitary napkins have no manufacturers and no safety warning signs. If we use such sanitary napkins, it is easy to cause vulva itching. It is also possible that our skin and sanitary napkins are allergic, and long-term use can easily cause vulvar itching. It may also be that menstruation is not handled properly, which will irritate our private parts and cause vulvar itching.

Inflammation of the vaginal lining can also cause vulvar itching in women during menstruation. Vaginitis discharges some irritating secretions, which can irritate the skin of the private parts and cause itching. The most common causes are fungal or Trichomonas infection. Patients with inflammatory fungal infections are often diabetics. In addition, although elderly patients with vaginitis do not have much secretion, they may experience itching due to degenerative changes in the private parts and the skin itself.

If we use some drugs or acidic objects to stimulate, it can also cause vulvar itching during menstruation. Flushing the vagina or rubbing some medicines on the private parts, applying medicines on the vagina, etc. can cause itching through direct drug irritation or skin allergy to the medicines. If we use plastic menstrual belts or wear polyester underwear, it may cause vulvar itching due to poor ventilation.

That’s all about the causes of vulvar itching during menstruation. Women are very prone to vulvar itching during menstruation. At this time, we need to pay special attention to the hygiene of the private parts and handle menstruation properly. We should change a sanitary napkin every hour to ensure the hygiene of our private parts during menstruation.
