Female lower body swelling

Women's reproductive organs are particularly fragile and sensitive and are easily infected by bacteria, so they should be kept clean at ordinary times. If itching occurs, seek medical treatment in time because it is likely to develop into vaginitis. But some women said that they did not feel any itching, but only found swelling. What's going on? Swelling of a woman's lower body is related to many reasons, such as wearing underwear that is too tight.

1. Or it may be caused by the underwear being too tight

Nowadays, many people like to wear tight underwear to show off their figure. However, if the underwear is too tight, the vulva will be tightly squeezed. In the narrow space, the vulva can only "shrink" into a ball. If it is squeezed by external force for a long time, the vulva will naturally swell.

It is recommended to wear underwear with good elasticity and strong stretchability. Remember not to wear tight underwear to avoid hurting the vulva.

Symptoms: A bulge (big or small) appears where the vulva meets the thigh. It does not hurt or itch when sitting, but there is a little pain when walking. In addition, there will be a little pain when touching the swollen area, but it is not serious.

2. Or it may be caused by vaginal inflammation

When it comes to the problem of redness and swelling of the vulva, many women will first wonder if it is caused by inflammation? Because the private parts are sensitive and fragile, they can easily be infected by bacteria. Among them, inflammations such as vulvitis, vulvar eczema, vaginitis, and vulvar leukoplakia can cause redness and swelling of the vulva.

Warm reminder: Redness and swelling of the vulva make women feel uneasy and some even suffer from insomnia. If you want to live in peace, you must find a way to protect the vulva. It is recommended to start with the cleaning of the vulva and private parts products, as follows:

1. Cleaning of the vulva

Cleaning the vulva is something that every woman must do every day, but because it is something that they do every day, many people will ignore some small details when cleaning the vulva:

(1) The water temperature should not be too high to avoid scalding the vulva. It is best to use warm water for cleaning.

(2) The towel used should be used independently. Do not use a bath towel to clean the vulva, because the bath towel is used to wipe the dirt on the whole body. Even if it has been washed, there will inevitably be dirt left in the towel. Using such a towel to clean the vulva will cause various bacteria on the towel to enter the vagina from the vulva, which can easily cause infection.

(3) When cleaning the vulva with your hands, you need to wash your hands thoroughly in advance. Because there is hair on the vulva, many women tend to use their hands to push aside the hair when cleaning the vulva, so as to better clean the dirt at the bottom of the pubic hair. However, if your hands are not clean, when you push aside the pubic hair, the bacteria on your hands will be brought into the vagina, causing infection.

2. Replacement of sanitary napkins

Sanitary napkins must be changed in time, this must be remembered! Because menstrual blood contains a lot of things (such as blood, shed endometrium, etc.), it is quite dirty. Although the fluid will be absorbed by the sanitary napkin after it flows out, some of it will remain on the surface of the sanitary napkin. Over time, it will breed bacteria, coupled with sweat.

As you can imagine, this can easily cause vulvar inflammation.
