Why does it itch during ovulation?

Generally speaking, women will not feel itchy in their vulva during ovulation, so women who feel itchy in their vulva may have certain gynecological diseases that cause itching in their vulva. There are several causes of vulvar itching, such as pubic lice, drug allergies, skin diseases, etc.

What causes vaginal itching during ovulation?

The local causes of vulvar itching include:

1. Special infections: Candidal vaginitis and Trichomonas vaginitis are the most common causes of vulvar itching. Pubic lice, scabies, and pinworms can also cause itching.

2. Vulvar itching. Vulvar squamous cell hyperplasia is characterized by severe itching as the main symptom, accompanied by whitening of the vulvar skin.

3. Drug allergy or chemical irritation Soap, condoms, benzalkonium bromide, etc. can cause contact or allergic dermatitis due to direct irritation or allergy, and symptoms such as vulvar itching may occur.

4. Bad hygiene habits: Not paying attention to the local cleanliness of the vulva, long-term stimulation by sebum, sweat, menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, or immersion in urine and feces can cause vulvar itching; sanitary napkins during menstruation and wearing non-breathable synthetic underwear can induce itching due to long-term accumulation of local moisture and heat.

5. Other skin lesions such as wounds, common warts, herpes, tumors, etc. can cause vulvar itching.

In addition, vulvar itching during ovulation indicates vulvitis and urethritis. You can wash the vulva with warm water for a week after the end of menstruation, drink more water every day, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, wash the vulva with warm water before going to bed and during intercourse during the non-menstrual period, and change underwear frequently. Sanitary napkins must be of regular brands and within the shelf life. And keep an optimistic attitude. If you have persistent vulvar itching, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up.

Symptoms of ovulation

1. Decreased appetite: Studies have shown that women eat the least during their ovulation period. Experts point out that this is the result of human natural instincts that have been preserved to this day - female animals during ovulation will focus more on finding the opposite sex for mating rather than finding food.

2. Energetic: This is also a natural instinct inherited from humans. In order to successfully attract the opposite sex, women during ovulation will become energetic and love to express themselves.

3. Increased sexual desire: Generally speaking, women’s sexual desire is particularly strong during their ovulation period, which is a reflection of the fact that women’s body signals that they want to get pregnant have reached their highest level.

4. Increased leucorrhea: Increased leucorrhea Leucorrhea is the vaginal discharge of women during ovulation period. The leucorrhea of ​​normal women is an odorless, slightly acidic viscous substance that has the functions of moistening the vagina, excreting waste, and inhibiting the growth of pathogens. It is a normal physiological phenomenon.

5. Increased body temperature: During the ovulation period, a woman's body temperature will be higher than before. However, since body temperature is greatly affected by the outside world, it is generally impossible to detect changes in body temperature without relying on a thermometer and measuring it over a long period of time.

6. Ovulation pain: Some women will experience mild pain on one side of the lower abdomen about 14 days before the menstrual cycle. Sometimes it is just a vague discomfort, but in a very small number of women the pain is very obvious. The pain usually lasts for 1-2 days and then disappears. This pain is called "ovulation pain".

7. Ovulation bleeding: Some women experience bleeding during ovulation. This is because the estrogen level drops temporarily, causing the endometrium to lose hormonal support and partial shedding of the endometrium, resulting in regular vaginal bleeding, also known as ovulation bleeding.

8. Decreased resistance: During ovulation, women’s vaginal mucus becomes thinner, allowing sperm to pass more easily and increasing the chances of successful conception. At the same time, women’s nasal mucus also decreases, which increases the chances of bacteria invading the human circulatory system.
