Itchy hairy area down there

I often feel itchy down there, and most of the itchy areas are where the pubic hair grows. This area makes me feel embarrassed, and I dare not go to the hospital for a check-up, so I let the condition get worse. In fact, it is normal to have symptoms of pubic itching when the weather is hot or when there is an illness. This does not rule out the possibility of some small insect infection or parasitic infectious disease.

Methods/Steps

The reasons for pubic itching in summer and at night are generally as follows: 1. Itching caused by sweat stimulation; 2. Itching caused by dermatitis and eczema; 3. Itching caused by infectious diseases and parasitic diseases; 4. Itching caused by gynecological diseases.

What is itchy pubic hair? What should I do if my pubic hair itches at night?

If it is due to the first reason: itching caused by sweat stimulation. Just take a shower every day. If the skin still itches after taking a shower, use some special antipruritic medicine. If the skin turns red, you may have dermatitis, eczema or ringworm, so use special products.

If your pubic hair itches due to the second reason: dermatitis or eczema, antipruritic drugs alone will not work. You need to get rid of the dermatitis and eczema. Do not scratch your skin to avoid leaving scars, pigmentation or worsening the condition. Pay attention to your diet.

If your pubic itching is caused by the third reason: infectious diseases or parasitic diseases, you will be fine as long as you kill the parasites and stop transmitting the disease.

Itchy pubic hair in women may also be a gynecological disease. Wash it with Fuyanjie or Jieryin every day. If it does not get better, see a gynecologist nearby and don't delay.

Menstrual cycle

General Introduction

Pubic hair is one of the secondary sexual characteristics of the human body. Pubic hair begins to appear in girls between the ages of 11 and 12, and in boys between the ages of 12 and 15. If pubic hair does not grow or is sparse at this time, it is medically called alopecia. Women with alopecia are commonly known as "white tigers", and a man with chest hair, navel hair and pubic hair connected into a single line is called a "blue dragon". In the old society, there were sayings that "blue dragons and white tigers are unlucky" and "a man with alopecia will kill his wife, and a woman with alopecia will kill her husband", which are pure nonsense. This puts a lot of mental pressure on patients, and some even dare not to fall in love.

puberty

Generally speaking, after the onset of puberty, pubic hair grows from the pubic follicles of adolescents due to the effects of estrogen and testosterone. The androgens in men are secreted by the testicles, and there is also a certain amount of estrogen in women, which is secreted by the adrenal cortex and ovarian interstitium. Whether male or female, the presence and density of pubic hair is related to the level of estrogen and androgen in the body, as well as the sensitivity of the pubic hair follicles to estrogen and androgen. For those who simply do not grow pubic hair but are normal in other aspects, it may be that the pubic hair follicles are insensitive to their own estrogen and androgen. This is not pathological and has nothing to do with anything. It neither affects your physical health nor your marriage or fertility. Therefore, there is no need to worry about it, and don't believe in those nonsense.

Disease issues

Of course, in a very small number of people, it may be caused by disease, such as hypothyroidism, and the pubic hair may be sparse. For example, inflammation, tumors or trauma may cause structural damage and functional impairment of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, thus affecting the secretion of sex hormones.

Or it may be due to congenital diseases or some unexplained diseases, such as idiopathic Addison's disease, which affect the secretion of sex hormones, manifesting as menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, sparse pubic hair, sexual dysfunction, etc.

For example, the influence of drugs. Long-term and large-scale use of glucocorticoids before puberty will feedback inhibit the function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, causing renal cortex dysfunction or even atrophy, and reduced or no secretion of estrogen and androgen, resulting in sparse or no pubic hair.

Most people have sparse or no pubic hair, and they have poor local sensitivity. If it is caused by a disease, pubic hair will grow again once the disease is cured, and it will not affect the marriage and sexual life after marriage.

Age of growth

Women's pubic hair is located at the pubic symphysis and is distributed in an inverted triangle shape. Starting from around 10-13 years old, sparse and soft pubic hair appears on the vulva, which then gradually increases in number and becomes darker in color. Some people grow pubic hair after menstruation (or after the age of 18).
