Nowadays, people's thoughts are becoming more and more open. It is normal to have sex before marriage. However, some people may easily suffer from unwanted pregnancy due to negligence or lack of safety awareness. If you cannot keep the child, the best solution is to go to the hospital for an abortion. Although abortion is not a major surgery, abnormal phenomena are often likely to occur after the operation. So, is it normal to have vulvar itching after uterine curettage? Let’s take a look below.

Vulvar itching after uterine curettage is not normal. The following are the main reasons:

1. Dry vulva

Excessive use of potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths and dryness of the vulva in postmenopausal women can also cause vulvar pruritus, which is the main cause of vulvar pruritus. If the vulva and vagina are flushed with disinfectant, or some drugs are placed in the vagina, causing skin allergies or dermatitis in the vulva, it can also cause vulvar itching.

Treatment: First, you need to undergo a comprehensive gynecological examination, and then treat the symptoms according to the cause. Generally, it is mostly caused by vaginitis, which can be treated with medication. Most drug treatments are based on simple drugs, with the principle of combining oral and topical use. Generally, there are three methods: oral medication, vaginal medication, and topical ointment.

2. Secretion stimulation

Genital tract inflammation caused by fungi, gonococci, Trichomonas, and bacteria, which produces irritation of abnormal leucorrhea, as well as irritation from urine and feces can cause vulvar itching.

Treatment: When you are troubled by vulvar itching after curettage, do not use gynecological wash liquid casually. Just use clean water to clean the private parts. Keep the vulva dry and clean. When vaginal bleeding has not stopped, change the dirty sanitary napkins frequently, and sterilize bath towels, underwear and other items with boiling water.

3. Systemic diseases

Women with diseases such as diabetes, allergic reactions, jaundice, etc. may also experience vulvar itching.

Treatment: If you are troubled by vulvitis after curettage, if you do not treat it in time, the bacteria will easily take advantage of the opportunity to expand their territory and cause gynecological inflammations such as vaginitis and cervicitis. For this reason, after the symptoms of vulvar itching appear, you should go to the hospital for symptomatic treatment in time to avoid vulvitis causing greater troubles to your life and health.

4. Chemicals and drugs stimulate local itching

Such as alkaline soaps, condoms, sanitary napkins, synthetic underwear, etc. Direct contact can stimulate the local area and cause vulvar itching. Not paying attention to cleanliness and hygiene, failing to change sanitary napkins in time, using inferior sanitary napkins, and failing to clean the vulva area regularly, causing menstrual blood or vaginal secretions to accumulate in the vulva area for a long time. Or usually wearing chemical fiber underwear, which makes the vulva area often in a hot and humid environment, often causing vulva itching.

Solution: Female friends who do not want children at present must take good contraceptive measures and never let accidents cause any trouble or trouble to you as a female friend! Although curettage is only a minor operation, women should not use it for contraception. They must treat their bodies with caution. Frequent abortions can bring many harms to women, such as incomplete abortion or infertility. Under this premise, women must choose a contraceptive measure that suits them to prevent accidents.

5. Various vulvar diseases

Vulvar pruritus can be caused by vulvar eczema, vulvar hypopigmentation or leukoplakia, vulvar ringworm, vulvar neurodermatitis, and vulvar condyloma acuminatum. If the amount of vaginal discharge increases, especially if there is vaginitis caused by Trichomonas or fungal infection, the large amount of abnormal vaginal discharge will irritate the vulva and cause itching.

Treatment: The body's recovery after curettage requires a reasonable diet. Eat more protein-rich foods to improve the body's resistance and play a certain role in hindering the further expansion of vulvitis bacteria. In addition, you are not allowed to eat raw, cold, or irritating foods. You should eat more fruits and vegetables to keep your bowel movements smooth.

6. Others

For example, pinworms and semen can irritate the vulvar skin and cause itching, which becomes the cause of female vulvar itching. Such as itching caused by various vulvar skin diseases, such as vulvar eczema, atrophic lichen sclerosus, neurodermatitis and vulvar dermatitis. These diseases can not only cause varying degrees of itching, but also the skin of the vulva may become white, atrophic or thickened to varying degrees.

Treatment: Try to eat well, sleep well, pay attention to increasing nutrition, enhance the body's resistance to disease, and promote the early repair of damaged organs. After the abortion, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery. Dietary supplements should be started immediately; raw, cold, and irritating foods should be avoided. If conditions permit, the normal postpartum diet can be referred to. In addition, the daily life should be based on the taboos after delivery, such as not taking a bath in a tub, not drinking cold drinks, and keeping warm clothes to avoid catching cold.
