Why is my vulva so itchy?

Itching of female private parts during menstruation or at night is aggravated by itching, which is mostly related to gynecological diseases, and very rarely caused by skin allergies to sanitary napkins. Let’s take a closer look at what gynecological diseases can cause vulvar itching, which is exacerbated during menstruation at night.

Why does vulva pruritus itch very much at night?

Caused by worm disease

Pinworms live in the stomach and intestines, but female pinworms crawl out of the anus at night to lay eggs. Sometimes they crawl into the vagina and urethra to irritate the private parts and cause itching. Therefore, vulvar itching usually worsens at night. If secondary infection occurs, abnormal leucorrhea will occur.

Pinworms burrow into the intestinal mucosa, and mechanical or acid stimulation in the digestive tract can cause symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

Scabies infection caused

Scabies is a highly infectious sparganosis that is invisible to the human eye. Objects touched by sick people can often become infected. Scabies like to be active at night, so itching is more obvious at night. The atypical rash is located on the fingertips, scrotum, etc., with atypical tunnels, papules and papulovesicles.

What is the reason for the increase of vulvar itching during menstruation?

Irritant

During the physiological period, due to menstruation and female secretions increase, bacteria multiply rapidly and in large quantities. If sanitary napkins are not changed in time or tight pants are not worn, the secretions will irritate the vulva and cause itching.

Sanitary napkin skin allergy

Some sanitary napkins are scented and contain medicinal ingredients, which can make you feel refreshed after use. However, some women may experience allergies and vulvar itching when using these sanitary napkins during their menstrual period.

Warm Tips

If you like to wear underwear with poor breathability, sit in the office for a long time with little exercise, have dirty private skin, and have residual urine, feces or sweat for a long time, it will irritate the private skin and cause inflammation and itching.
