What is the disease of vaginal itching during menstruation

Women should keep their genitals clean during menstruation. Don’t think that you can’t take a bath at this time. This is a misunderstanding. In fact, you should keep your genitals clean during menstruation. Since menstruation is a special period, various problems may arise. Some women want to know what disease is the cause of vaginal itching during menstruation? This depends on different situations. Some are physiological, some are due to the use of unqualified sanitary napkins, and some are indeed due to vaginal inflammation.

What causes vulvar itching during menstruation?

Many women will experience varying degrees of vulvar itching during menstruation. In fact, this is mostly not caused by disease, but a relatively common phenomenon, so we don't need to worry too much. During a woman's menstrual period, her vaginal immunity is low, her resistance to bacteria is weakened, the secretions from the vagina increase, the environment is humid and hot, and with the "involvement" of sanitary napkins, it is very unfavorable for the ventilation of the vagina, which makes it easy to breed bacteria and cause uncomfortable symptoms such as vulvar itching.

In addition, if girls use inferior sanitary napkins (such as sanitary napkins without chips, unqualified chips, with chemical fiber surfaces, or with rough surfaces), or are allergic to sanitary napkins, it is easy to irritate the delicate vagina of women and cause vulvar itching, skin allergies, redness and swelling, and other reactions.

It is worth mentioning that not all vulvar itching during menstruation is normal, and vulvar itching during menstruation does not rule out the possibility of disease. If a woman experiences vulvar itching at all times except during menstruation, she may have candidal vaginitis. Candidal vaginitis is a common disease among women, usually with symptoms such as vulvar itching, burning pain, frequent urination, dysuria, and pain during sexual intercourse. It is recommended that patients with vulvar itching go to the hospital for treatment in time and take the right medicine.

What should women do if their vulva itches during menstruation?

1. Use sanitary napkins correctly. When purchasing sanitary napkins, it is best to buy regular brands. Choosing sanitary napkins with a soft cotton surface, good breathability and strong adsorption can reduce the possibility of vulvar itching. In addition, sanitary napkins should be placed in a clean closet after opening, and it is best to use them up within the same month. Contaminated sanitary napkins should not be used.

2. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene.

During menstruation, you should remember to change sanitary napkins frequently. Do not reduce the frequency of changing sanitary napkins just because the amount of menstrual blood is small. Wash the vulva with warm water at night. You can buy cotton swabs at the pharmacy and gently wipe the private parts. Underwear should also be changed and washed frequently. It is recommended to choose pure cotton and breathable underwear. If you feel unbearable itching of the vulva, you can use anti-itch wipes to wipe the vulva.

3. Seek medical attention promptly. If in addition to vulvar itching, there are other symptoms such as redness, swelling, burning pain, frequent urination, urgency, pain when urinating, and small particles on the vulva, it is recommended to go to the hospital's gynecology department for treatment in time.
