What causes vaginal itching?

Vulvar pruritus is a common gynecological disease. Not only adult women are prone to this disease, but even some little girls may suffer from it. In fact, vulvar pruritus in girls is not caused by gynecological inflammation, but may be caused by other diseases. What is the reason for this? Let's take a look at some issues related to the itching of the little girl's vulva:

What disease can cause vulvar itching in little girls?

1. Pinworm disease. If a little girl has vulvar itching, parents should observe whether there are small insects coming out of the child's private parts, as it is likely caused by pinworms. The presence of pinworms can cause itching symptoms. Other sparganosis and mantis worms can also cause vulvar itching.

2. Urethritis. If you do not pay attention to hygiene issues in daily life and wipe your child from back to front when defecating, the feces environment will contaminate the urethra, causing bacterial and viral infection, which will lead to urethritis. If this happens, it is best to do a routine urine test to diagnose whether you have urethritis.

3. The quality of the underwear is not very good. If you wear tight underwear, and it is not made of pure cotton, if the fabric is too hard, it will cause friction to the private parts and cause itching, and even cause serious chronic diseases such as vaginitis and urethritis. Therefore, when parents choose underwear for their children, they must choose pure cotton underwear, and do not choose tight polyester underwear or underwear that is easy to fade.

4. Intravaginal rectal fistula. It is a relatively rare congenital disease caused by congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal tract. This type of disease can cause repeated infections of the urinary and reproductive systems, and can also lead to vaginitis infections, which can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as vulvar itching.

5. Other diseases. If a girl has an allergic constitution and poor immunity, she will often have skin allergies and is also very likely to have vulvar itching. If the private parts are traumatic or some diseases are transmitted to the vagina, it will cause vulvar itching symptoms.
